In 2023, France's gross electricity production from solid fossil fuels stood at approximately 489.23 Thousand Tonnes of Oil Equivalent. From the forecasted data, there is a clear downtrend, with a significant year-on-year decline: a 13.23% decrease from 2024 to 2025, a 15.06% fall from 2025 to 2026, a 17.56% reduction from 2026 to 2027, and a 21.00% drop from 2027 to 2028.

Over the five-year period from 2023 to 2028, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is a decline of around 16.69% per annum, highlighting a strong shift away from solid fossil fuels in France's energy mix.

Future trends to watch for:

Increasing investment in renewable energy sources as France aims to decarbonize its energy sector, reducing reliance on solid fossil fuels.
Policy measures and regulations focused on achieving national and EU environmental targets, further influencing the decrease in fossil fuel-based electricity production.
Technological advances in energy storage and grid management, potentially accelerating the transition from fossil fuels to more sustainable options.
