The forecasted data indicates a gradual decline in fossil energy consumption in France's commercial and public sectors from 2024 to 2028. The consumption starts at 9.73 million tonnes of oil equivalent in 2024 and declines to 9.42 million tonnes by 2028. This represents an average annual decrease, or CAGR, of approximately 0.8% over this period. In 2023, the consumption stood at 9.81 million tonnes, marking a consistent downward trajectory driven by energy efficiency improvements and increased adoption of renewable energy.
Future trends to watch include continued policy measures targeting energy efficiency, technological advancements in energy-efficient solutions, and potential shifts in governmental regulations favoring renewable energy integration over fossil fuels, which might accelerate the reduction in fossil energy consumption.
