The French Ministry of Ecological Transition reports that 1,056 MW of new PV systems have been connected to the electricity grid between April and June 2024. In comparison, the country added 1,054 MW in the first quarter of this year and 812 MW in the second quarter of 2023.
As of June 2024, France’s total installed PV capacity was 22.2 GW. About 2.14 GW was deployed on the mainland, while the rest was installed in Corsica and the country’s overseas territories.
The total capacity of solar projects with grid connection requests has reached 30.9 GW, of which approximately 7.1 GW already has provisional connection agreements in place.
Nouvelle-Aquitaine, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur and Grand Est account for 48% of the new connected capacity this year. These regions also have the highest installed capacity, representing more than 53% of all cumulative electricity connections in France at the end of March.
