The French Commission de Régulation de l’Énergie (CRE) is proposing changes to the rules for supporting large-scale photovoltaic installations, with the aim of encouraging the development of projects that combine solar energy generation with energy storage.
The national energy regulator said the proposed adjustments, which apply to installations above 100 kWp, are part of a broader effort to improve the efficiency of public spending and better align the renewable energy sector with the needs of the electricity system. They have been submitted to the Lévy-Tuot task force, which is currently investigating these issues.
In a context characterized by a growing number of hours of negative prices and an increasing ‘cannibalization’ of photovoltaic solar energy – that is to say the decline in the value of solar energy production due to its increasing share in the energy mix – the CRE had already issued initial recommendations in July 2025. These include calls to revise the premium mechanism in periods of negative prices and to rebalance risk sharing between the government and producers.
