Electricity production in France has been dominated by nuclear power since the early 1980s with a large portion of that power exported today. Since the mid 1980s, the largest source of electricity in France has been nuclear power, with a generation of 379.5 TWh in 2019 and a total electricity production of 537.7 TWh. [1]
In terms of installed capacity and produced power in 2013 France was the second largest producer of nuclear energy in the world behind the United States. The installed nuclear capacity was 63.1 GW, and power production was 403.7 TWh. [18] France reprocesses its nuclear waste to retrieve plutonium and uranium for use as additional fuel.
Energy in France was generated from five primary sources: nuclear power, natural gas, liquid fuels, renewables and coal. In 2020, nuclear power made up the largest portion of electricity generation, at around 78%. Coal energy is declining and due to cease. [2] Renewables accounted for 19.1% of energy consumption in 2020. [2]
