The forecast for non-freshwater abstraction for electricity production cooling in France shows a steady increase from 2024 to 2028, starting at 5.11 billion cubic meters and rising to 5.25 billion cubic meters. In 2023, the abstraction was slightly lower, indicating a gradual rise through the forecast period. The year-on-year growth rate is steady, reflecting an average annual increase (CAGR) that showcases sustainable growth over the five-year period.
Future trends to watch include potential impacts of climate change policies that may encourage more sustainable practices, technological advancements in cooling technology, and changes in energy demand which could alter abstraction rates.
