The commercial and public services final consumption of solid fossil fuels in France shows a downward trend from 2024 onwards. By 2028, the consumption is projected to decrease to 110.94 Gigawatthours from 246.72 Gigawatthours in 2024. The year-on-year percentage declines are significant, with an observable drop of approximately 15% in consumption annually. In 2023, the consumption data shows a relatively stable usage of solid fossil fuels, marking a significant shift in trend from stable to declining post-2024.
Future trends to watch for include France's potential acceleration of renewable energy adoption and policy initiatives aimed at reducing fossil fuel dependency, which could sustain or even amplify this declining trend.
