Support by:

• The objective of WP2 is to analyse and compare the different MSP regimes in the different EU Member States with plans and/or (policy) targets for offshore renewable power generation deployment

• The EU Members States covered by SEANERGY 2020 are the Coastal States from the following 4 Sea basins:– Baltic Sea– North Sea– Atlantic Coast– Mediterranean Sea

Support by:

• The analysis of the different national MSP regimes is based on a set of criteria defined under the task 2.1 of the WP2. The proposed assessment criteria are:– Policy and legal framework, that supports and promotes

MSP– Data and information management, essential for making

decisions on the allocation of space dedicated to ORE– Permitting and licensing procedure– Consultation mechanisms, illustrating how priorities in

maritime space are taken into account – Sector Conflict management procedures and the

mechanisms for reducing conflicts– Cross-border cooperation, and transboundary planning– Implementation of MSP, and the degree to which MSP is

translated from policy and legislative level into practice.

Support by:

• France is a maritime nation:- Second most extensive maritime zone in the world: 11

millions km² (France + DOM-TOM) = 8% of total EEZ in the world

- Presence in every ocean and every latitude (France + DOM-TOM)

• France: Metropolitan:- 3 coastlines: 3500 km

- North Sea & English Channel- Atlantic Coast- Mediterranean Sea

- Total estimated EEZ area: 334 604 km²

Support by:

• Estimated potential of installed capacity for Wind Development per maritime facade:

- North Sea & English Channel: 6345 MW- Bretagne: 4100 MW- Atlantic Coast: 2882 MW- Mediterranean Sea: 1192 MW

Support by:

• 2020 targets - 23% of RES to gross electricity consumption- Offshore Renewable Energies Objectives:

- Wind Energy: 6000 MW- Wave/Tidal /Current: 380 MW

- Designated area for the deployment of offshore renewable energy: 533 km² equivalent 3000 MW (first round tender procedure)• English Channel & North Sea: 275 km² (1750MW)• Atlantic Coast: 258 km² (1250MW)

Support by:

• Policy and legal framework for MSP and offshore renewables

- There is no overarching legislation addressing the issue of integrated MSP

- The legislation applicable to MSP is administered and enforced by a wide range of administrations, government agencies and regional or local authorities.

- Several government bodies and organizations have a role in the deployment of ORE activities:- Ministry of Ecology, Energy, Sustainable Development, Transport and

Housing - Ministry of Industry and Energy- DGEC (General Directorate of Energy and Climate)- ADEME

- Most authorisations and approvals are sectoral

Page 8: WP 2: National MSP - France

Support by:

• Policy and legal framework for MSP and offshore renewable

- Until recently very few provisions under French law govern facilities built beyond territorial waters

- The planning instruments were promoted by local authorities and covered territorial waters (up to 12nm), not EEZ

- France has taken steps to review its maritime policy and reform its institutional and legal framework related to maritime activities

- The Government published a Blue Book (2009) giving the guidelines for a national strategy for the sea

- A planning exercise and consultation launched in 2009 and completed in September 2010, identified initial areas for the development of OWF

Page 9: WP 2: National MSP - France

Support by:

• Data and information management- Several GIS initiatives exist in various administrations,

but MSP reflection is still fragmented. - CETMEF (Technical service centre on maritime and river

issues) set up the definition of favourable zones to offshore wind farms based on sectoral existing information(GIS data).

- A GIS-tool has been set up and has been used by region prefects in each zone concerned as a basis for consultation process to define areas as “favourable” for offshore wind energy development.

- Data and information is public available through CETMEF’s website

Support by:

• Permitting and licensing procedure- Objective: simplifying the permitting and decision process- Specific to OWF:

- building permits have been removed- The exploitation authorization and concession allowance

have been merged in one single document- Status of the process:

- The exploitation authorisation/ concession is granted through the tender procedure, but still needs to be completed with :

- the authorisation to occupy the maritime public domain, - an environmental impact assessment (EIA) and an impact

study on Natura 2000, - an authorisation pursuant to the water regulations

(Environment Code).

Page 11: WP 2: National MSP - France

Support by:

• Permitting and licensing procedure- 4 permits are required for offshore wind parks

- 8 authorities at regional level (Prefect of Department, Maritime Prefect) and National level (Ministries of Energy, Sea, Industry, Fishing, Environment, the General Secretariat of the Sea, CRE, ADEME) are involved in the permitting procedure.

Page 12: WP 2: National MSP - France

Support by:

• Consultation mechanisms- To grant a license or a permit to authorise an activity in

the marine environment, the issuing authorities are required to take into consideration the recommendations, comments and advice provided by a wide range of stakeholders in accordance with the existing consultation processes

- Consultation processes are also included in the tender procedure between the different relevant ministries: Energy, Sea, Industry, Fishing, Environment, the General Secretariat of the Sea and ADEME.

Page 13: WP 2: National MSP - France

Support by:

• Sector Conflict management procedures- France has embraced the concept of integrated coastal

zone management and developped new approaches to reduce conflicts such as including local and regional representative committees for fishing professionals in the consultation process to define zone as favourable to the development of offshore wind energy.

- The proposal to the tender (for 3 GW) should include information on how to implement measures to assess, monitor and compensate the impacts of the offshore wind farms on marine environment or on the exploitation of fisheries resources.

Support by:

• Cross-border cooperation,- France is involved in several cross-border initiatives

(North Sea Countries Offshore Grid Initiative, ENTSO-E, Pentalateral Energy Forum).

- France is also part of several international agreements (OSPAR Convention, Bonn Agreement, International Conference on the protection of the North Sea, CBD).

Support by:

• Implementation of MSP- The planning of maritime activities was untill recently only based

on a decentralized decision-making process planning instruments cover coastal area and territorial waters (12 nm) and do not cover EEZ.

- France has taken steps to review its maritime policy and reform its institutional and legal framework related to maritime activities

- In support to the development of offshore wind energy, planning instruments have been adapted, reviewed and amended since 2009.

- Since end 2010, 10 areas for offshore wind development have been identified and will be submit through a tender procedure. The first round is planned in May 2011, the second in 2015, each with 3 GW of capacity.
