'Death of sector'? French wind and solar ban risks 80,000 jobs and Engie billions

Industry feverish ahead of final vote in lower house of parliament on amendment of energy bill that was approved in surprise move last week and would have dramatic consequences, renewables group and utility warn

Updated 51 minutes ago

A possible French moratorium on new wind and solar projects would put 80,000 jobs in danger, risk a country ratings downgrade and could endanger billions of euros in investments by energy giant Engie, renewables groups and the utility said.

France’s National Assembly, the lower house of parliament, in a surprise vote late Thursday had included an amendment to a draft bill on energy and climate policy that would ban the permitting and commissioning of new wind and solar installations until an independent study determined the best energy mix for the country, French media reported.


“Stopping renewables now is nonsense. In the current geopolitical context, France should scale up domestic energy to increase its energy resilience,” WindEurope spokesman Christoph Zipf told Recharge.

Engie launches pilot PPA-tied solar panel recycling programme


Jun 23, 2025, 12:12:48 PM

Article by Veselina Petrova
renewablesnow


The North American unit of French power utility Engie SA (EPA:ENGI) has launched a pilot programme that integrates the recycling of solar panels and related components into power purchase agreements (PPA).


The new approach, dubbed “precycling221;, will enable developers to recycle almost one million panels when their operational lifespan expires and thus divert them from landfills, Engie North America said. The pilot initiative concerns four photovoltaic (PV) projects in the Midwest with a combined capacity of 375 MW.

The programme was developed in partnership with solar panel recycler Solarcycle. According to the solar recycling company’s estimates, the incorporation of this provision into the PPAs will divert 48 million pounds of material from landfills and avoid about 33,000 tonnes of carbon emissions. Construction waste and system components will be recycled “to the maximum degree possible.”

“Engie’s precycling provision sets a new precedent for the utility-scale solar industry by proving that circular economy principles can be achieved without complex regulatory intervention and in a way that doesn’t require an up-front payment,” said Jesse Simons, co-founder and chief commercial officer of Solarcycle.

The initial projects included in the programme are set to be energised over the next couple of years. They will add to the 12-GW-plus fleet of wind, solar and energy storage facilities operated by Engie in North America.

Engie is advancing its commitment to sustainability by initiating a pilot programme that integrates the recycling of solar panels and related components into the early stages of project planning for four upcoming developments.

This pioneering strategy is to be executed in collaboration with technology-driven solar panel recycling company Solarcycle.

The innovative approach aims to incorporate end-of-life material recycling right from the start of the project’s lifecycle, aligning with energy buyers’ sustainability goals.

The precycling initiative is designed to be integrated into power purchase agreements, ensuring that one million panels from 375MW projects across the Midwest are recycled at end-of-life.

By doing so, Engie contributes to the full circularity of these projects while diverting significant waste from landfills and reducing carbon emissions.

Solarcycle estimates that the initiative will prevent 48 million pounds of material from ending up in landfills and avoid 33,000t of carbon emissions.



The agreement also includes measures to recycle all construction waste and system components where possible.

Engie power marketing senior vice-president Caroline Mead stated: “We are delighted to bring this innovative approach to life. Our collaboration with Solarcycle demonstrates the shared commitment we have to the long-term sustainability of our industry.”

As clean energy demand in the US grows, partnerships like that between Engie and Solarcycle become crucial for meeting capacity requirements sustainably.

The collaboration ensures traceability and circularity of materials used in these projects, with recovered materials re-entered into the domestic supply chain for future clean energy solutions.

These pilot projects are part of Engie’s larger portfolio, which includes more than 12GW of wind, solar, and battery storage operations in North America.

Completion is expected in the 2020s, further cementing Engie’s commitment to sustainable practices in energy production.

Solarcycle co-founder and chief commercial officer Jesse Simons stated: “Engie’s precycling provision sets a new precedent for the utility-scale solar industry by proving that circular economy principles can be achieved without complex regulatory intervention and in a way that doesn’t require an up-front payment. We’re happy to work creatively with leaders like Engie to support their commitment to circularity, domestic energy, and sustainability.̶1;

In 2024, Engie has secured 4.3GW of PPAs compared to 2.7GW secured in the previous year. This increase brings the company’s total portfolio of already contracted PPAs to 14GW.

DET, TES, and ENGIE commission LNG terminal

Published by Jessica Casey, Editor
LNG Industry, Tuesday, 27 May 2025 15:00


With the commissioning of its third floating import terminal for LNG, the state-owned Deutsche Energy Terminal GmbH (DET) has implemented another key project of the LNG Acceleration Act.

Dr Peter Röttgen, Managing Director of DET, said: “In this challenging project, we have consistently worked together towards our goal: to significantly strengthen energy supply security in Germany. We must reduce the risks of one-sided dependence on energy imports for our economy and consumers. An indispensable means of achieving this is by diversifying the supply routes for natural gas. Our households and especially energy-intensive industries rely on natural gas until renewables can fully replace fossil fuels. Alongside pipeline natural gas, LNG is making a significant contribution to our stability in Germany and Europe on the road to climate neutrality. On behalf of the entire DET, I would therefore like to express my sincere thanks to all the companies involved, the approval authorities and the officials and elected representatives who have made this project possible.”

Katherina Reiche, Federal Minister for Economic Affairs and Energy, commented: “Gas will remain of great importance for our energy supply for the foreseeable future. The opening of the second LNG terminal in Wilhelmshaven is therefore an important step towards greater security of supply, diversification of energy sources and the resilience of our country. It is a great success that the terminal can now be connected to the grid.”

The second LNG terminal in Wilhelmshaven was connected to the grid in around 2.5 years, including planning and approval. Despite major engineering challenges, the project partners ENGIE Deutschland GmbH and Tree Energy Solutions B.V. (TES) on behalf of DET completed the project in roughly half the time typically required for comparable large scale LNG projects. DET and the project partners were supported during construction by the Gasfin Group, which will take over terminal management on site in the future.

Eric Stab, CEO of ENGIE Deutschland AG, added: "We are pleased that ENGIE, together with TES, was able to contribute to securing Germany's energy supply in the short term. We were responsible for the development and construction of the marine infrastructure that enables the operation of the floating terminal. We also negotiated the charter agreement with Excelerate Energy on behalf of the German government and continue to support DET with ship management. Our thanks go to all those involved in the project.”

Marco Alverà, Co-founder and CEO of TES, explained: “The FSRU has helped turn Wilhelmshaven into a key entry point for LNG – at a time when energy security and transatlantic trade are high on Europe’s agenda. TES, together with ENGIE, DET, and BMWE, has delivered a result that strengthens Germany’s supply today and lays the foundation for TES’s onshore terminal, which will enable large scale imports of both LNG and e-NG. We are proud of the outstanding work by the TES team in bringing this project to life.”

The Wilhelmshaven 02 LNG terminal is unique in Germany and Europe in several respects: the island jetty is built around 1.5 km from the mainland in one of the strongest currents in Europe. In addition, data, electricity and ultimately the natural gas pipelines are laid in the seabed for ecological reasons and connected to a head station on land. A system from ECOnnect is used for this. FSRU Excelsior also has another unique feature: for the first time in Europe, DET is testing an ultrasound method to combat fouling pressure in the seawater pipeline system of an FSRU. The method is designed to prevent barnacles and mussels from clogging the pipes of the required water circuit.

In 2025, Excelsior will feed up to 1.9 billion m3 of natural gas into the German gas grid. This corresponds to the annual natural gas consumption for heating 1.5 million four-person households in multi-family homes. In the two subsequent years, Excelsior's regasification and grid feed-in capacity will then reach up to 4.6 billion m3 each, equivalent to the annual heating energy required by up to 3.7 million four-person households.
