In 2021, seven percent of the total primary energy supply in France came from biomass, wind, solar, and geothermal energy sources. These are the main renewable energy sources if hydropower and wood energy are not taken into account. The largest share of electricity generation in France in 2021 was from nuclear sources, at around 70 percent.
Compared to nuclear energy, Solar, wind, geothermal and biomass account for a marginal share of the total energy supply of the country.
Proportion of biomass, wind, solar and geothermal energy in the total primary energy supply in France in 2021
The source does not include hydropower and solid biomass among the renewable energy sources because they are not completely environmentally and socially sustainable.
