France will leapfrog both the UK and Spain to become Europe's second-largest generator of wind power by 2030, according to WindEurope. We estimate that by 2030, thanks to the policies of the current government, France will overtake the United Kingdom and Spain in terms of installed capacity,” Dickson said. The industrial association states that current government policies will accelerate the French wind sector, which will represent over 25% of the country's electricity by 2030. In a report published on Wednesday, the Paris-based group said it expects France's share in global renewable energy capacity to reach 50% by 2030 from its present level of around 20%. Germany is expected to remain the largest European generator of wind power.
