Electricity production in France increased by 11% between 2022 and 2023, reaching 494.3 TWh last year. Nuclear production has started to recover, but it is still far from its historical levels.
Gas has returned to the volume of the years before the energy crisis, i.e. 30 TWh. As for coal, which is highly publicized, it now only represents 1.6 thousandths of French electricity production, or 0.8 T Wh. With more nuclear and renewables, the emissions for electricity production have fallen by 32% over one year.
