Wind energy is generated from the conversion of kinetic energy from wind turbines into electricity. Wind power was one of the leading electricity sources in France, with over 50 terawatt-hours generated in 2023, placing France among the most important wind power producers in the European Union.
To learn more about France’s wind energy sector, please read their chapter in the IEA Wind TCP 2022 Annual Report. Total wind power capacity is 20,900 MW. Wind power capacity in France increased by 1900 MW in 2022. France produces 37.9 TWh from wind energy, which accounts for 8.3% of the country’s electricity consumption.
Regarding offshore wind power capacity, 1.9 GW in additional capacity is needed to achieve the goal of 2.4 GW set for 2023. Wind and solar power capacities jointly represented 56% of France’s renewable power capacity. Wind power alone represented one-third of total renewable electricity production and 8.3% of national electricity demand.
With continued government support, new offshore auctions, and technological advancements, France is well-positioned to remain a leader in Europe’s wind energy transition. This information is updated in March 2025
