Session 1
This opening keynote takes a step back from the French market to examine the global and European forces reshaping the economics of solar and battery storage. Developments in China’s manufacturing landscape, evolving EU industrial and energy policy, electricity pricing dynamics, and the rapid maturation of storage business models in neighbouring markets are increasingly influencing investment decisions and project viability in France.
Sam Wilkinson

The presentation focuses on the regulatory mechanisms that directly affect storage revenues, cost structures, and investment risk, including grid access, market participation, and evolving rules around flexibility and system services. It also highlights the key regulatory signals that developers and investors should consider when structuring storage and hybrid projects in France.
With ESG and ESRS requirements placing growing emphasis on emissions linked to consumption, corporate buyers are becoming key actors in the energy transition. This panel explores how procurement strategies, reporting obligations, and flexibility needs are influencing the evolution of solar and storage projects in France.

Session 2A
As volatility grows, structuring PPAs in France demands new models. This session explores financial strategies, risk-sharing structures, and cost analysis.
This business case explores how a real commercial or industrial site in France successfully deployed a hybrid PV + battery system to reduce energy costs, enhance resilience, and monetize flexibility.

Session 2B
An honest review of land issues, regulatory red tape, and what’s working.
Showcasing hybrid APV + BESS pilots and how storage unlocks financing, permits, and grid value.
This panel explores the realistic potential of agrivoltaics in France in a more constrained market, drawing on early feedback from projects developed under the new agrivoltaics framework. It examines permitting, acceptance, and bankability challenges, and benchmarks the French approach against other European markets to clarify where and how agrivoltaics can scale.

Session 3A
A detailed presentation on how negative pricing is impacting PV+BESS revenues and what stacking strategies developers are using to preserve ROI.
How can hybrid BESS projects become truly bankable in an evolving market? Drawing on UK experience, this session explores key design choices, revenue strategies, and practical insights to help developers navigate and unlock opportunities in France.

Session 4
In this session, RTE will provide a system-level perspective on upcoming developments: physical grid constraints, flexibility needs, asset control, and new technical standards. What types of projects will have what impact on the grid by 2030?
Physical grid constraints in the face of increasing solar capacity
New requirements for controllability and grid integration
The role of storage from a power system perspective
Current grid limitations and their implications for project development
How to design projects that are compatible with long-term grid needs
Rachid Otmani
Réseau de Transport de l'Electricité (RTE)
This technical business case walks through the real deployment of a hybrid PV + storage project in Europe (or comparable EU market), spotlighting what went right, what went wrong, and how to optimize system design and execution.
Closing the day with a strategic vision on how France can scale GW-level PV+BESS, what needs to change in regulation and market design, and how to lead in Europe.
