Nuclear Power in France
(Updated March 2024)
France derives about 70% of its electricity from nuclear energy, due to a long-standing policy based on energy security.
Government policy, set under a former administration in 2014, aimed to reduce nuclear's share of electricity generation to 50% by 2025. This target was delayed in 2019 to 2035, before being abandoned in 2023.
In February 2022 France announced plans to build six new reactors and to consider building a further eight.
France is the world's largest net exporter of electricity due to its very low cost of generation, and gains over €3 billion per year from this.
The country has been very active in developing nuclear technology. Reactors and especially fuel products and services have been a significant export.
About 17% of France's electricity is from recycled nuclear fuel.

I'm all for nuclear as well. Coal is the easiest and the fastest way to go. Gas a possibility but gas is in short supply now.
