The line graph compares the amount of electricity produced in France over a period of 32 years.
Overall, there was an increase in the amount of electricity generated by nuclear and renewables in France, while the opposite trend can be seen in the figures for Hydro and Thermal power. It is clear that Nuclear was by far the most popular source of electricity production over the period.
In 1980, the amount of electricity manufactured by nuclear was nearly 70 Tw-h, while renewable provided a negligible amount. Over following 32 years, there was a significant increase to reach a peak of nearly 430 Tw-h in 2005, the figure for nuclear decreased slightly to just over 400 Tw-h in 2012. Meanwhile although remaining unchanged until 12005, before increasing slightly too approximately 25 Tw-h during the last 7 years.
Of the other electricity sources, in 1980, Thermal was the most common electricity source, before decreasing to only 50 terawatt hours in 1985 and remained almost unchanged for the rest of the period. Similarly, 70 Tw-h of electricity produced by Hydro in 1980, with a subsequent fluctuation and a final drop to 50 terawatt and stayed relatively stable over the whole 7-year period.
