What does agrivoltaics mean in French politics?
In 2017, the term ‘agrivoltaics’ officially entered French politics. It appears within the CRE’s calls for tenders, which are restructured to correspond to the objectives of the Programmation Pluriannuelle de l'Énergie (PPE). Policies to support agrivoltaics are mainly implemented through one of the calls for tenders issued by the CRE.
What is agrivoltaics?
