Utility-scale solar deployment and the impact of land-use planning: evidence from France Paris School of Economics, France This paper provides novel evidence on how spatial planning regulation impacts the deployment of solar photovoltaic installations in France. Solar energy projects must meet eligibility criteria to participate in national public auctions, based on the land used by the installation. Eligibility criteria, in turn, are transposed in land-use planning at the municipality level. Using a quasi-experiment, I study how this interaction impacts the amount of land allocated to solar at the municipality level. My findings suggest that the heterogeneity in administrative frameworks to define land-use planning distorts the spatial deployment of solar facilities. Municipalities with more detailed land-use planning frameworks increase the amount of land allocated to solar by an average of 100 m^2 per km^2. Conversely, more recent land-use planning and frameworks integrated at the inter-municipality reduce the amount of land by 50 m^2 and 100 m^2 per km^2 due to stricter restrictions on new land developments. | |
