France Nuclear Share of Electricity by Year 2010-2025

About This Dataset

Percentage of France's electricity generated by nuclear power in each year since 2010, as published by Ember. Each bar is one calendar year.

✨ AI Insight

France is the only large economy where nuclear supplies most of the electricity, but the share has fallen over this period rather than risen: 76.2% in 2010 against 68.77% in 2025. The peak is 77.93% in 2011 and the trough is 62.93% in 2022, a drop of 15 percentage points from the peak and the lowest figure in the series by a clear margin. The recovery since has been steady rather than complete - 65.2%, 67.7% and 68.77% in the three following years, still about seven points below where the series started.
