Did you know?

France’s total electricity production amounts to around 500 TWh a year, nearly 70 % of which comes from nuclear energy.
In addition to this, more than 20 % of the electricity comes from renewable energies (hydroelectric, wind, and solar power), fossil fuels and, to a lesser extent, from bioenergies.
However, as electricity only accounts for a fifth of the energy consumed in France, fossil energies still represent over half of its energy mix, which is still very carbon-intensive.
