In 2023, France's fossil energy final consumption in mining and quarrying stood at 3.00 Thousand Gigawatthours. The data forecasts a modest increase with values reaching 3.04 Thousand Gigawatthours by 2028. The year-on-year changes indicate a steady and slight upward trend, remaining consistently around a 0.33% increase per annum from 2024 to 2028. Over this five-year span, the Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) remains relatively flat, suggesting stability in consumption patterns.

Future trends to watch for:

Implementation of renewable energy sources in mining operations, driven by sustainability goals, may alter fossil consumption patterns.
Advancements in energy-efficient technologies might impact the demand for fossil fuels in the mining sector.
Regulatory changes aimed at reducing carbon footprints could further influence energy strategies within this industry.
