From 2023 to 2028, the forecast for solid fossil fuels gross electricity production in France indicates a consistent downward trend. In 2023, the production was higher than the projected 6.16 thousand gigawatt-hours for 2024. The year-on-year percentage decrease from 2024 through 2025 is approximately 6.99%, followed by a similar decline of 7.33% from 2025 to 2026, and so on, with each year showing a decreasing pattern of production. The five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) calculation yields a steady decline as the average annual growth also reflects a decreasing trend.

Future trends to watch for include:

A continued focus on the reduction of fossil fuel usage in electricity generation as France aims to align with renewable energy commitments.
Potential policy shifts impacting solid fossil fuels in response to climate change and energy security concerns.
Technological advancements in alternative energy sources that may accelerate the transition away from solid fossil fuels.
