Nuclear electricity production in France

While the main source of electricity in France is nuclear power, the nuclear share of electricity generation decreased from 78.5 percent in 2005 to 65 percent in 2024. The French electricity company EDF Group had to face unexpected technical issues in its nuclear fleet over the last three years, which caused nuclear outages and loss of electricity production.

Renewable sources in France

Renewable energy consumption in France has increased over the past years, coming mainly from hydropower and wind renewable energy sources. Among the conspicuous renewable energy investments, in 2022 France was developing several offshore wind farm projects. Besides, solar photovoltaic energy capacity in France was expected to double by 2027.
