    The latest government statistics show that France added about 2.
    76 GW of solar and wind turbine capacity in the first three quarters of 2021, and reached 13.
    23 GW of solar and 18.
    54 GW of cumulative wind capacity
    .

    From January to September, the domestic solar photovoltaic (PV) industry put into production 2,034 MW, a year-on-year increase of 167%.

    Only 761 megawatts of solar capacity
    were commissioned in the same period last year.
    According to the French Ministry of Energy and the Department of Data and Statistical Research, the increase in deployment is attributed to the increase
    in the number of grid connections and energization systems in large plants.

    The largest portion of new grid-connected solar farms are registered in the New Aquitaine and Occitanie regions, accounting for 448 MW and 339 MW
    of total installed capacity, respectively.

    Solar power generation in the first nine months of 2021 was 12.
    5 TWh, up from 11.
    4 TWh
    a year ago.
    During the reporting period, PV provided 3.
    7% of the country's
    electricity demand.

    Meanwhile, 70 wind farms totaling 726 MW began supplying power to the grid from January to September, down 3%
    from a year ago.
    About 60% of the capacity put into operation in the first three quarters of the year came from 8-12 MW of installed capacity
    .
    Hauts-de-France and New Aquitaine were the regions with the highest installed capacity over the same period, contributing 213 MW and 129 MW
    , respectively.

    Wind farms in France generated 26.
    2 TWh of electricity between January and September, accounting for 7.
    7%
    of the country's electricity consumption.
    Due to less favorable weather conditions, electricity output is down 6%
    from a year ago.
