The line graph illustrates the production of electricity in France over a period of 32 years.
Overall; electricity production from nuclear power was highest; whereas the amount of electricity produced from renewable energy was lowest.
In 1980; about 120 terawatt hours of electricity was generated from thermal power. In the same year, nuclear and hydroelectric stations produced around 70 terawatt hours of electricity, respectively. One year later, nuclear energy took over thermal energy as the main source of energy.
From 1980 to 2005; electricity production from nuclear power constantly increased and reached a peak of 400 terawatt hours. By comparison; the amount of thermal energy declined to 50 terawatt hours in 1985 and remained unchanged for the rest of the period. The generation of electricity from hydroelectric power stabilized comparatively, at around 50 terawatt hours. On the other hand, the amount of electricity created from renewable energy climbed slightly from 2005 to 2010.
