In 2023, the gross electricity production of nuclear heat in France was recorded at 400.05 thousand gigawatt hours. The forecast from 2024 to 2028 shows a gradual decline, with values starting at 391.02 in 2024 and decreasing by approximately 0.75% annually to 378.09 thousand gigawatt hours in 2028. This represents a steady downward trajectory over the five-year period. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) thus indicates an average decline of about 0.75% per year.
Future trends to watch include the impact of policy shifts towards renewable energy sources, potential technological advancements in nuclear energy efficiency, and regulatory changes that could influence France’s nuclear output. Monitoring these developments will be crucial in assessing the long-term viability of nuclear energy production in France amidst the global energy transition.
