[EU approves France's € 63 billion offshore wind power aid plan] On July 13th, the European Commission officially approved France's 63 billion euro national aid plan to support 11 offshore wind farm projects with a total installed capacity of 11.1GW and an annual power generation of 47.8 billion kilowatt hours, accounting for 10.6% of France's annual electricity consumption. The implementation period of the plan is 25 years, using a two-way price difference contract mechanism to stabilize electricity price fluctuations, and allocating assistance qualifications through bidding. This plan is formulated based on the Clean Industry Agreement National Assistance Framework, and is being promoted simultaneously in the three major sea areas of the North Sea, Atlantic, and Mediterranean. Three of the wind farms will replace the support arrangements prior to August 2025. Editor/Cheng Liting
