France will aim to have 15 gigawatts of installed offshore wind capacity in 2035, down from 18 GW the government had signalled last year, Les Echos reported.
The target for total installed onshore wind capacity by 2035 will be 35 GW to 40 GW, according to Les Echosdown from the 45 GW communicated last year. Solar capacity will be between 55 GW and 80 GW by 2035, the report added, compared to a current 31 GW of installed capacity.
France’s finance ministry, which handles energy, did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the figures.
