France’s Association Environnement Juste has proposed a storage mandate for renewables projects exceeding 10 kWp in order to integrate ?exibility at the source. The association argues European sodium-ion batteries could present an economically and environmentally viable solution, capable of stabilizing grids without depending on imported metals. France’s new Multi-Year Energy Plan (PPE 3) targets 48 GW of solar capacity by 2030, but it does not set any speci?c targets for energy storage. In a white paper recently submitted to the ministry, the Association Environnement Juste warned this omission has technical consequences. For the French non-pro?t, the lack of ?exibility turns deployment targets into a ‘physical bottleneck,’ threatening both the stability of the power grid and the coherence of the energy transition.
the association wants to see ?exibility incorporated at the source and has proposed a minimum energy storage requirement for any new renewable energy facility exceeding 10 kW
