France to develop . wind power and other renewable
As Iraq, and Iran and geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, Lu Biao led to the recent international oil prices rise, there are already over $ 76 a barrel. The rise in the oil price increase of joint natural gas prices, to this end, experts predict that the next 10 years, wind less than a mixed natural gas power generation costs, use of renewable energy such as wind and solar power with huge market potential.
8 8th, France head of renewable energy Association wind power branch, in 2006, France wind generating capacity is expected to be more than 1000 MW, up to 2000 MW in early 2007. Moreover, at present, France around calls new wind power stations are high..
it is understood that, until the end of 2005, France a total of 120 wind power stations, wind power generating capacity of 750 MW for the whole year, France near 0.2% of the total power consumption.
France Ministry of economy, finance and industry, said a number of years in the future, France will continue to build 660 wind power station, need to install wind turbines up to 1000 units, generating energy now also on the basis of an increase of 4,000 megawatts. By 2010, France wind energy generating capacity will reach 13,500 megawatts.
although the relatively high cost of wind power generation, France Government adopted a series of measures to promote the development in the area, including wind surfing prices, guaranteed 8.2 euro cents per kilowatt/hour takeover.
at present, France not including wind energy, also in the development of other renewable energy resources, for example, 2004 sold 8,000 units of solar water heaters, wood heating equipment sales of 300,000 units in 2005; sold 16,000 units of solar water heaters, wood heating equipment sales of 430,000 units; expects 2006 sales to reach 25,000 units of solar water heaters.
