France Sets Offshore Wind Power Goal

April 28, 2022--Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--France recently announced the goal of adding 40 gigawatts of offshore wind capacity by 2050. This will help France to diversify its energy matrix beyond nuclear power, which is currently its mainstay.

The offshore wind scenario for France over the decade has not been good; the country had to wait a long time to gets its first offshore wind turbine installed off the coast of Saint Nazaire, which took almost a decade because of local opposition and legal challenges.
