In 2021, over 75 percent of the energy produced in France was from nuclear sources, in the form of electricity. Around 17 percent of the French primary energy production was from renewable thermal sources (including solid biomass, heat pumps, and biogas), and waste. Hydraulic, wind, and photovoltaic solar energy accounted for around seven percent of domestic energy production, while less than one percent was from fossil sources. A similar distribution of primary energy production sources have been observed in France over the past 20 years.
