France is targeting an annual growth rate of 1.5GW in onshore wind power – aligning with the previous government's objectives –, according to Energy Minister Olga Givernet, cited by Reuters.
- The government aims to have 45GW of offshore wind power operational by 2050 and plans to release a map of priority development areas soon, with a call for tenders by early 2025.
- The announcement comes after the New PM Michel Barnie said that France will continue investing in nuclear energy, including the building of new reactors on Tuesday.
