How France’s 12GW Plan Proves a Powerful Energy Strategy

France has launched a 12 GW renewable energy tender program, dominated by 10 GW of offshore wind, alongside solar and onshore wind, to strengthen energy security and reduce exposure to fossil fuel imports. A key feature is new “resilience criteria” that prioritize European supply chains and limit reliance on Chinese components. Aligned with France’s 2035 offshore wind targets and upcoming EU industrial policy, the initiative reflects a strategic shift where decarbonization, industrial competitiveness, and geopolitical risk management are increasingly intertwined.
