As of 2023, the consumption of anthracite in France's commercial and public services sector stood at 73.42 Gigawatthours. The forecast for the years 2024 to 2028 shows a marginal increase, with consumption expected to rise from 73.43 Gigawatthours in 2024 to 73.45 Gigawatthours by 2028. This indicates a nearly flat growth pattern, with an average year-on-year increase of around 0.01% to 0.02%.
Future trends to watch include the potential impact of France’s energy transition strategies that prioritize renewable energy sources. If policies shift towards more sustainable energy consumption in the commercial and public services sector, this could further diminish the reliance on anthracite.
