The net generation capacity of hydropower in France is projected to increase reaching a 26,559 megawatts by 2050. Hydropower accounts for the largest electricity production from renewable sources in France, if wood energy is not considered as a renewable energy source.
The projections form part of the EU Reference Scenario 2016, providing a framework by which energy and environment policy can be assessed. In 2050, the projected net generation capacity of hydropower in Italy was almost 20,000 megawatts.
