From 2013 to 2023, France saw a significant increase in onshore wind power electricity production capacities. In 2013, the capacity was 8.16 thousand megawatts, escalating to 21.17 thousand megawatts by 2023. The average annual growth (CAGR) over the past five years was 7.27%. The year-on-year growth in recent years has been slowing down, with a 6.05% increase from 2022 to 2023, compared to 16.71% in 2017. The forecast for 2024 projects a capacity of 22.36 thousand megawatts.
Future trends to watch for:
- Continued but moderated growth in onshore wind power capacity, with a forecasted 5-year CAGR of 3.86% from 2024 to 2028.
- Focus on technological advancements and policy support to sustain growth in renewable energy.
- Integration of onshore wind with other renewable sources to enhance grid stability and energy security.
