The diagram illustrates energy produced in Germany and France from all sources and renewables in 2009.
At first glance it is evident that the largest proportion for all types of sources formed conventional thermal energy in Germany, while nuclear power came first in France. The least amount of solar energy from renewables produced for both country.
Looking at the details, conventional thermal power ranked first accounting for a little less than 60% in Germany, while nuclear power generated 76%. The second highest proportion contributed to renewables approximately 14% (Germany) and 17%(France). The rate of nuclear was over twice as great as that of conventional thermal in France, which the opposite was true for Germany.
With regard to renewable energy, there was a wide disparity between hydroelectric and other energies and a little more than four-fifth percent hydropower generated in France. The figure for biomass was larger than that for wind power by a narrow margin, with the former and latter was being responsible for 39,3% and 36,9%. The least indicator was observed in solar energy for both countries.
