FAQs 6

How long will France's coal-fired power plants last?

Credit: LOIC VENANCE/AFP via Getty Images. France will extend the life of its two remaining coal-fired power plants until the end of 2024 as the country prepares for high demand during the winter months, according to a decree signed by Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne and Energy Transition Minister Agnès Pannier-Runacher.

How many coal-fired power stations are still open in France?

Macron had promised, during his first term, to close the last four coal-fired power stations in the country. The only other coal-fired power station still open in France is in Cordemais (west). In 2020, coal represented 0.3 percent and gas 6.9 percent of fuels used to generate electricity.

How is energy used in France?

Total energy supply (TES) includes all the energy produced in or imported to a country, minus that which is exported or stored. It represents all the energy required to supply end users in the country.

Are renewables the key to the French energy transition?

Among them, the “ 100% renewable power mix” study (ADEME, 2015), and “ electricity mix development trajectories 2020-2060” (ADEME, 2018a) explicitly optimize the power system and study the role of renewables in the French energy transition. Our results in the previous fully-renewable power mix study were very close to those of these two studies.

How much does electricity cost in France?

According to the latest quarterly report from the French energy regulator (CRE, 2019), 35% of a typical electricity bill (varying between €170 and €200/MWh e depending on the tariff chosen and consumption profile) represents electricity production, which costs between €59–€70/MWh e.

Is the French electricity sector decarbonized?

While the French electricity sector is relatively decarbonized, the relative proportions of renewable energy resources and nuclear power is a highly debated topic. With 63GW of installed capacity by the end of 2019, nuclear power dominates the French electricity mix, accounting for 70.6% of net electricity production in 2018 (CGDD, 2019).
