This statistic shows the consumption of nuclear energy in France from 2005 to 2021. In 2005, France nuclear energy consumption amounted to 102 million metric tons of oil equivalent. This number dropped to nearly 757 million metric tons of oil equivalent in 2021. In 2015, France total power generation was composed at 76 percent with nuclear energy.
Nuclear energy consumption in France from 2005 to 2020
(in million metric tons of oil equivalent)
Characteristic
Consumption in million metric tons of oil equivalent
The source pointed out that consumption of nuclear energy is specified on the basis of gross production and without consideration of cross-border electricity supplies. The conversion is done on the basis of thermal equivalence, which is assumed at 38% for a modern power plant. The values prior to 2017 are taken from previous publications.
