France: Accumulated PV installed capacity exceeded 15GW in the first half of 2022
According to the latest figures from the French Ministry of Ecological Change, cumulative photovoltaic installations in France reached 15.1 gigawatts in the first half of this year, of which 14.5 gigawatts were located on the French mainland.
New photovoltaic systems with a total capacity of 1,098 megawatts were connected to the French grid in the first half of 2022, down sharply from 1,534 megawatts last year, the Ministry of Ecological Change said. About 607 MW of total capacity was commissioned in the first quarter and 491 MW in the second quarter.
It is understood that plants with a power output of more than 250 kW account for about 51 percent of new installed capacity, and photovoltaic systems with a power output of less than 9 kW account for 13 percent of new installed capacity. Solar capacity reached 9.6 terawatt hours in the first half of this year, 32% more than the same period in 2021.
Nouvelle-Aquitaine, Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes and Provence Alpes-Cote d'Azur accounted for 65 percent of the total expansion in the first half of 2022. These are the regions with the highest installed capacity, accounting for 66 percent of France's cumulative total PV capacity at the end of June.(News from PV-Tech)
