Wind power development in France and Germany: key figures
Despite an opinion very favorable to the development of wind power in France, the country is lagging far behind its German neighbor. France ranks 10th in Europe by installed wind capacity (1.500MW), far behind the first that are Germany (20.000MW) and Spain (11.000MW).
German wind power benefits from fundamentally more favorable conditions: this form of energy is considered to be of public utility. In Germany, the law promoting renewable energies (or EEG law) is currently under review with a view to its amendment. German players are therefore more interested than ever in other national experiences.
