WIND POWER: WHAT'S THE BEST APPROACH TO ACCELERATE REPOWERING?

Laurie GILBERTNicolas VRECOURTFrédéric MADECDelphine BASSOUFranck TURLAN
Description
As the PPE 3 makes repowering a major focus of onshore wind energy development, France is entering a new phase in its wind energy history. More than 11.8 GW of aging capacity has been identified by the government, and more than 8,000 wind turbines could be subject to repowering by 2040. Generating more renewable electricity at existing sites, limiting land development, and modernizing facilities: the potential is vast. But what conditions must be met to truly scale up this effort? Regulatory changes, business models, industrial capacity, equipment recycling, local acceptance, and value sharing: which levers should be activated to make repowering a driving force behind the energy transition and France’s energy sovereignty? A roundtable discussion moderated by Franck Turlan, journalist

CAN WE BUILD A FRENCH SOLAR INDUSTRY CHAIN, FROM PRODUCTION TO RECYCLING?

Nicolas DEFRENNELucas WEISSLaurent BODINFranck TURLAN
Description
Europe’s dependence on Chinese photovoltaic modules has become a strategic blind spot in the energy transition. As industrial sovereignty returns to the forefront of public policy, a few projects are emerging in France and across Europe to rebuild a solar value chain—from materials to module manufacturing, through installation, maintenance, and recycling. But at what cost, and with what economic viability? The cancellation of an initial industrial project in France underscores the difficulty of establishing a competitive solar industry in a market dominated by Asia. At the same time, the recycling of first-generation panels opens up another prospect: that of a circular economy still in its infancy, but poised to scale up significantly with the gradual arrival of millions of end-of-life panels. This roundtable will therefore explore the conditions necessary for true industrial sovereignty in the solar sector: Can we transition from a model of massive imports to a French and European industry capable of producing, installing, maintaining, recycling, and creating value within the region?
