Breakdown of primary energy production in France 2023, by fuel

Published by Statista Research Department, Oct 7, 2024

In 2023, over 72 percent of the energy produced in France was from nuclear sources, in the form of electricity. Around 18 percent of the French primary energy production was from renewable thermal sources (including solid biomass, heat pumps, and biogas), and waste. Hydraulic, wind, and photovoltaic solar energy accounted for around nine percent of domestic energy production, while less than one percent was from fossil sources. 
A similar distribution of primary energy production sources has been observed in France over the past 20 years.
