About the Event

The France Renewables National Conference is a key event for the French renewable energy sector. The 15th edition will take place from October 15 to 16, 2025, bringing together professionals, decision-makers, and exhibitors to discuss the challenges of the energy transition.

Key figures from the previous edition:

  • Over 136 exhibitors & sponsors

  • More than 2,800 participants

  • 80+ elected officials and government representatives

  • 200+ decision-makers

  • 10+ high-profile guests (Minister, President of UFE, CRE, RTE…)

For nearly 29 years, France Renouvelables has supported companies in the sector, providing tools and insights to advance industrial-scale renewable energy integration into the power system. As France Renouvelables emphasizes, this conference is a cornerstone of the French renewable energy ecosystem, where innovation and collaboration meet to shape the future of the sector.

Through our customized solutions, we supports professionals in the renewable energy sector to reduce risks, improve asset reliability, anticipate incidents, and optimize operational management.

A fast-growing sector facing new weather-related challenges

The renewable energy sector, particularly wind and solar, faces growing exposure to extreme weather events such as lightning and thunderstorms.

Due to their location in open areas or high elevations, wind turbines and solar panels are often the tallest points in their environment, making them prime targets for direct lightning strikes.

According to DNV, lightning damage is the leading cause of unplanned downtime for wind turbines. These incidents are also the most common reason for insurance claims filed by renewable asset owners.

Beyond equipment damage, these events can also endanger on-site teams and impact production reliability, making lightning risk management a key priority across the entire project lifecycle, from design and construction to operation, maintenance, and repowering.

Understanding your needs

As a manufacturer, developer, or operator, you require reliable and actionable lightning data to support every stage of your renewable energy projects. This includes designing and sizing protection systems accurately, ensuring the safety of your teams, optimizing energy production, inspecting equipment after potential strikes, demonstrating lightning incidents to insurers, and adapting operations in real time.

By combining high-precision lightning data with services, we support informed decision-making across all project phases, from design and construction to operation, maintenance, and repowering. Our goal is to make lightning risk a manageable factor, keeping teams safe and infrastructures resilient.
