The French Ministry of Ecological and Solidarity Transition has winners of the seventh tender round for C&I rooftop solar energy systems for the period 2021-2026, with capacities above 500 kW. The authorities have allocated 179.0 MW of solar energy to 50 developers through the tender at an average final price of €0.1016/kWh.
The French authorities originally received 84 project proposals, totaling 274.8 MW. This figure represents 69% of the 400 MW that the government wanted to allocate through the tender, meaning it largely undersubscribed.

In the fifth tender, which was completed at the end of August 2023, the authorities allocated 378 MW of solar energy to 60 developers at an average final price of €0.10195/kWh.
In the fourth exercise, the ministry allocated only 57.6 MW to 16 projects at an average final price of €0.10452/kWh.
In the third tender, the authorities allocated 89.9 MW at an average final price of €0.090951/kWh. In the second tender they allocated 122 MW at an average final price of €0.08257/kWh.
