Wind energy in France
France possesses the second largest potential for wind energy in Europe.
In June of 2001, the French government passed a law which requires that
power produced from wind energy must be fed into the main power supply.
This legislation approaches the German laws in respect to renewable
energy. The tariff was adjusted in July 2006.
In July 2006, the French National Assembly set ambitious goals within
the framework of the PPI legislation (long-term program for
investments). It is planned that by the year 2015, 17,000 megawatts of
power will be generated through wind energy sources.
Given this, it is likely that France will become one of the largest growing markets for wind energy. top
ABO Wind SARL
Since 2002, ABO Wind has been represented in France by its branch
office, ABO Wind SARL. Twenty people are employed in offices in Nantes, Toulouse und Orleans.
The First Wind Farm in Eastern France
Notable for its quality and broad acceptance in the community, the
project Téterchen is the first wind farm in the Lorraine Region.
The wind farm consists of six wind turbines with a hub-height of 85
meters and a rotor diameter of 77 meters. The total installed capacity
of the installation is 9 megawatts. The wind farm has been fully
operational since 2005, less than 3 years after the project had been
initiated.
Excellent Perspectives
By the end of 2007, ABO Wind will have a total of 6 wind farms in
operation with a total installed capacity of 40 megawatts. These sites
are spread over the regions of Lorraine, Pays de la Loire, Brittany and lower
Normandy.
The current project planning pipeline entails projects with a total capacity of about 200 megawatts. top
