In France, renewable energy is making progress, no matter how far from the goal

Renewable energy in France increased by 20.3% of gross final energy consumption in 2021, which is far from the target of 33% by 2030, but according to official statistics released on Tuesday. Last year, the use of these energies in absolute terms increased by 9.3%, according to preliminary data released by the Ministry of Environmental Transition.

The share of renewable energy in total energy consumed since 2005 has thus increased by 10 points at a relatively steady pace, without a health crisis, the report said. This development was due to wind energy, heat pumps and biofuels, while at the same time gross final energy consumption decreased overall (at a rate of about 0.5% per year).

In the two years from 2019 to 2021, the share of renewable energy increased by 2 points, while last year’s economic recovery stimulated a relatively new demand in sectors such as transport, industry and the tertiary sector. Today, solid biomass (wood) remains the leader in renewable energy with 7.1% of final energy consumption, followed by hydraulics (3.4%) and heat pumps (2.4%), the balance sheet emphasizes. Wind energy provides 2.2% of the total, biofuel – 2.1%. However, by 2030, France must reach 33% to meet the goals of the Climate Energy Act. In 2020, the country was the only one in the EU with 19% that did not meet its 23% target, which was based on the European directive, which was passed to the Commission in 2010. At the European level, the target is now 32%.
