l'Actualité du Solaire

The calls for tenders issued by the Commission de Régulation de l'Energie (CRE) were generally very successful. They have stimulated developers to build ground-mounted power plants, but also rooftops, shaded areas, and to launch innovations in non-interconnected areas.The construction programme, which was known in advance, encouraged major energy players to get involved in solar energy production. During the ten rounds of tenders, the world of photovoltaics has changed a lot. It has matured and become more focused. It has given rise to a few players. It leaves the future open for about thirty medium-sized developers. Above all, the calls for tender have enabled developers to have sufficient confidence in themselves to launch energy purchase offers (EPBs) aimed at large companies. The transition has been smooth.
