The line graph illustrates the amount of electricity produced in France by four various sources (thermal, nuclear, hydroelectric, and renewables) over a 32-year period, starting from 1980. Units are measured in terawatt hours (TW-h).
Overall, it can be seen from the graph that the amount of electricity produced from nuclear power was highest. By contrast, the production of electricity from renewables was lowest.
In 1980, the amount of electricity generated from Thermal was highest, at around 130 TW-h, this figure was nearly double higher than those of hydroelectric (about 65 TW-h) and nuclear (approximately 68). On the contrary, the production of electricity from renewables was not recorded.
It is noticeable that there was an enormous growth in the amount of electricity from nuclear power, from about 68 TW-h in 1980 to around 410 TW-h in 2012. The figures for thermal experienced a gradual decline, which was only 50 TW-h. While, the electricity production from hydroelectric remained relatively unchanged, at 65 TW-h. The amount of electricity produced from renewables was a minimal climb to approximately 30 TW-h in 2012.
