Electricity storage in France
Find here the data on electricity generation in France, presented either in aggregate or in detail by generation type: nuclear, conventional thermal, hydro, solar, wind and renewable thermal.
Wind energy is generated from the conversion of kinetic energy from wind turbines into electricity. Wind power was one of the leading electricity sources in France, with over 50 terawatt-hours generated in 2023, placing France among the most important wind power producers in the European Union.
