Summary
- The publication of the Multiannual Energy Program (PPE 3) on February 12, 2026, establishes a planning framework for France's energy sector from 2026 to 2035, prioritizing onshore wind repowering.
- Despite strong developer interest demonstrated by oversubscribed tenders, challenges such as rising costs and legal disputes continue to hinder investment momentum in the wind energy sector.
- The PPE 3 includes a review clause for 2027, allowing adjustments based on evolving electricity consumption and capacity needs, but it also raises concerns about medium-term investment signals.
- As the energy transition progresses, balancing repowering with greenfield projects is crucial to restore stakeholder confidence and meet France's decarbonization goals
