Typical situation no. 60
A developer has a 17 MW solar project connected at medium voltage. In October 2026 the French government announced a derogation allowing up to 25 MW to be installed with storage, provided export never exceeds 17 MW. The developer wants to know whether to rework the project now.
WHAT IS BLOCKING
- The implementing texts for the derogation have not yet been published.
- Storage sizing depends on the generation profile and market prices.
- The project may already have commitments: support contract, connection offer.
WHAT WE DO
- Review of the project's position: connection, contracts, permits.
- Sizing of an oversized version with storage.
- Economic comparison of both versions, with assumptions.
- Monitoring of implementing texts and points to check.
WHAT YOU GET
- An informed decision: wait, adapt or keep the project as is.
- A costed storage sizing.
- The list of conditions to watch in the texts.
Typical format: Sizing study, two to four weeks. Every assignment is scoped in writing before it starts.
