The total support for coal in electricity generation in France is projected to rise steadily from $49.1 million in 2024 to $61.4 million by 2028. This showcases a consistent upward trajectory since 2023, where the figure stood at approximately $46.0 million. Year-on-year variations highlight an increase of 6.31% from 2024 to 2025, 5.88% from 2025 to 2026, 5.56% from 2026 to 2027, and 5.24% from 2027 to 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028 is around 5.73%.
Future trends to watch for include the influence of France's energy policy shifts towards renewables on coal dependence, potential changes in carbon pricing, and the evolving costs of renewable technologies, which could impact the forecast of coal support for electricity generation.
