Wind Could be Third of French Energy Mix

France’s wind power share in electricity consumption could jump to 30 percent by 2030 provided the government removes bureaucratic hurdles, France’s wind power association said on Monday.

Wind power makes up 0.25 percent of French electricity consumption with a production capacity of 1,000 MW.

A 2001 European Union directive requires EU members to bring their green electricity share to 21 percent of their power mix by 2010.
