In 2023, natural gas gross heat production in France stood at a lower level compared to the forecasted increase beginning in 2024 with an expected production of 21.11 thousand gigawatthours. This figure progressively rises to 23.12 by 2028. The year-on-year growth rates from 2024 to 2025, 2025 to 2026, 2026 to 2027, and 2027 to 2028 indicate consistent yearly increases, reflecting a steady upward trend. The compound annual growth rate over this period shows a moderate growth trajectory, underscoring a shift towards increased natural gas utilization.
Future trends to watch for:
- Advancements in energy efficiency and technology that could alter production levels.
- Policy changes related to renewable energy expansion and energy transition initiatives.
- Fluctuations in natural gas demand due to economic variables and climatic conditions.
