In recent years, the French onshore wind industry has met increasing barriers to new projects despite more supportive policies being implemented. This research uses an adaptation of MLP and SNM transition study frameworks to examine the reasons for these shortfalls.
The thesis include two levels of study: a national level and a local level of governance. The local level includes a case study from working with a wind developer and serves as a microcosm to illustrate the national level.
The barriers to implementation met at both levels are identified and their discrepancies compared. Finally, the thesis ends with recommendations to developers and policy makers to overcome them.
