The line chart illustrates the estimated amount of electricity produced in France by 4 different sources namely thermal, nuclear, hydroelectric and renewables from 1980 to 2012.
It is clear from the chart that electricity generation by nuclear power showed a remarkable change, while the figure for renewables remained almost unchanged over the period shown. Additionally, the amount of electricity produced by hydroelectric and thermal witnessed a downward trend.
In 1980, the quantity of electricity made by thermal was highest, at approximately 130 TWh, while the figure for nuclear and hydroelectrics was significantly lower, at 50 TWh and 70 TWh respectively. By contrast, there was no production of electricity by renewables, at 0 TWh.
In 2010, the amount of electricity generated by nuclear rose dramatically to nearly 430 TWh and became the highest figure in the chart, while the figure for hydroelectric dropped slightly to about 50 TWh in 2005 and bottomed out until the end of the period. Meanwhile, electricity production dropped remarkably to 50 TWh in 1085 and levelled out until 2010. By contrast, the quantity of electricity produced experienced a period of stability at 0 TWh until 2005 before going up slightly to around 30 TWh in 2010.
