As part of the "PPE2 PV Sol" call for tenders, the Directorate General for Energy and Climate of France (CRE) has designated 103 winning applications, a list in line with the proposal of the Energy Regulatory Commission. Following this designation, the CRE is publishing the deliberation relating to its instruction for the 7th period of the "PPE2 PV Sol" call for tenders which closed on December 20, 2024, as well as the associated summary report. The CRE proposed to retain 103 applications for a total power of 887.46 MWc (power demand of 925 MWc) and a weighted average price of 79.09/MWh, a slight decrease of 0.19/MWh compared to the previous period. At the end of this period, the CRE issued several recommendations aimed at improving the general operation of the call for tenders, in particular clarifying the notion of median height of an installation and the notion of breeding and adding a rule that applies in the event of a tie in scores when eliminating files falling under Case 2 bis to comply with the 250 MWc limit. It also recommended standardizing the specifications of the PPE2 PV Sol" call for tenders with the recent modifications to the specifications of the Onshore Wind Call for Tenders and revising the ceiling price downwards for the next period. The CRE also questions the relevance of maintaining the reserved volume as well as the possibility of changing the rule limiting to 250 MWc the volume of files falling under Case 2 bis which can be retained in each period, taking into account the competitiveness of these projects. Some of these recommendations have been implemented for the 8th period of the call for tenders, which will take place from June 2 to 13, 2025.
