The forecast data for natural gas available for final consumption in France shows a gradual decrease from 2024 to 2028. In 2023, the figure stood at an estimated 332.6 thousand gigawatthours, suggesting a consistent downward trend in subsequent years. The year-on-year percentage variation averages around -0.58%, reflecting declining consumption levels. Over the five-year period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) indicates a modest decrease.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Increasing renewable energy adoption might further reduce natural gas demand.
- Policies targeting carbon neutrality may accelerate the decline in natural gas consumption.
- Geopolitical factors and energy pricing could impact the availability and consumption patterns.
