The forecast for the natural gas gross available energy in France shows a gradual decline from 2024 to 2028, with values dropping from approximately 420 to 414 thousand gigawatthours. This continues a trend observed in recent years, with 2023 marking the baseline for assessed changes. Year-on-year variations indicate a consistent downward trajectory at an average rate, reflecting calculated consumption reductions and efficiency improvements over time.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential shifts in energy policy and regulations promoting renewable energy sources that may accelerate the decline in natural gas usage.
The impact of innovations in energy efficiency and technology on natural gas demand.
Evolving geopolitical factors affecting natural gas supply chains and prices.
