However, this is becoming increasingly unlikely following the passage of the Grenelle 2 law, which adds further constraints to what is already a long and complex permitting process.
French wind power capacity breaks 5GW barrier
FRANCE: Installed wind capacity in France broke through the 5GW threshold at the end of June according to grid operator Réseau de Transport d'Electricité (RTE).

The country, which ranks fourth in Europe after Germany, Spain and Italy, is chasing a target of 19GW of onshore capacity by 2020.
However, this is becoming increasingly unlikely following the passage of the Grenelle 2 law, which adds further constraints to what is already a long and complex permitting process.
