Relief for the industry of renewable energies in France - the business tax for wind energy converters and sea energies in France will be adapted to other electricity producers. Instead of the planed contribution of 8.000 Euro/MW/year, the amendment agreement of the french government proposes an overall contribution (imposition forfaitaire) for wind energy converters and sea energies of 2.913 Euro/MW/year. The french parliament and the senate already stated the agreement. 

This decision stabilises the whole wind energy industry, above all medium-sized companies and the main french consortia, which strongly invested in this industry and employed 2.000 people in the past few years.
