France’s Ministry of the Ecological and Solidarity Transition has published a list of winning projects for the sixth round of the government’s multiyear tender for the development of utility-scale solar plants. A total of 107 projects, with a combined capacity of 858 MW, was assigned through the procurement exercise. In terms of geographical distribution, projects are not concentrated only in the south of France; on the contrary, 44% are located outside of the country’s four southern regions. “This good distribution demonstrates the effectiveness of the selection criteria put in place by the ministry, in particular the bonuses granted in the event of installation on degraded land (for example, a brownfield, an old quarry, or a former airfield),” said the ministry. Of the 107 projects, one installation on degraded land secured an exemption from the tender’s size limit, which is 30 MW. The project was awarded to French energy giant Engie, which will develop a 32.37 MW array in Gironde. Rising average price The guaranteed price for projects exceeding 5 MW in size is €59.50/MWh, which is slightly higher than the previous round. The average price for installations ranging between 500 kW and 5 MW in size was €63.80/MWh, with projects on parking canopies nabbing the highest average price at €87.50/MWh. The round’s overall final average price was €64/MWh. More than half of the projects (58%) will also benefit from a tariff increase, as they are being partly financed through crowdfunding. This is the last of six rounds for the utility-scale segment, for a total of 4 GW of solar.

France has marked progress with its programme to roll out solar in an area hosting its oldest nuclear plant, selecting its first batch of PV project winners. The Environment Ministry named this week the schemes that will deploy a combined 62.5MW of solar near EDF's Fessenheim nuclear station, set for decommissioning in the coming years. The dozen winners include three larger projects – 22.2MW, 15.54MW and 10.24MW – and nine others where planned capacity sits in the 149kW-4.83MW range. At Fessenheim, a one-hour drive south from Strasbourg along the German border, the first twelve will supply solar electricity at average prices of €66.05/MWh (€72.16/MWh). According to the Environment Ministry, all 12 winners are “competitive” and would have succeeded at France’s national solar auctions if they had chosen to enter. The tender was oversubscribed, the Ministry noted, pointing at the 200MW in applications the first round registered for an initial size of 60MW. Environment state secretary Emmanuelle Wargon shared her “pride” at the work by state and local authorities to attract “quality PV projects” under a short time. Gigawatts of new solar for Europe's nuclear powerhouse The 62.8MW batch tendered this year is the first round of France’s Fessenheim scheme, which was granted the European Commission’s all-clear earlier this year. Overall, the programme is meant to install 300MW of solar in the vicinity of the 41-year-old nuclear station. A second and third tender, each offering 120MW, will follow in January and June 2020. The scheme, launched in January with €250 million (US$273 million) in state money, targets the addition of ground-mounted (200MW) but also rooftop (75MW) and smaller PV systems (25MW). France’s efforts to replace old nuclear with solar comes as the former feels the heat from increasingly cost-efficient renewables, with EDF's latest cost overruns with Hinkley Point C in the UK symbolising the trend. This week, new analysis claimed nuclear’s slow, expensive nature – where nimbler solar and wind are becoming cheaper – makes it ill-suited to the global climate change fight. France – where nuclear covers roughly three-quarters of power use – faces steep solar roll-out targets for 2028, by which year installed capacity must grow from 9.1GW to 35.6-44.5GW. Growth is being fuelled by government PV tenders that account for carbon footprint. The country has auctioned 3GW-plus in recent years and will now target 2GW for 2020 alone.
