Oil, which made up nearly a quarter of electricity’s production by fuel source in 1990, declined significantly to 13% by 2010. Coal and natural gas sectors also experienced dramatically decreases, with their contribution falling from 28% and again 28% to 13% and 4%.
Hydro power had the least contribution both year, but it experienced slightly decreased from 6% to 2% between 1990 and 2010. Nuclear power reached a peak with under 67 percent in France’s fuel resources in 2010.
