Most of the electricity production in France derives from nuclear power plants, which accounted in 2020 for 335.4 terawatt hours of electricity produced. As can be seen, this is also the lowest data compared to previous years, due to the shut-down and closure of the two nuclear power plants of Fessenheim. On the other hand, it is important to highlight how electricity produced from renewable resources is increasing.
