France's energy balance in 2023 - Provisional data, May 2024
Description
In 2023, primary energy production rebounded by 13.3% due to better availability of nuclear reactors than in the previous year. Primary consumption, which corresponds to domestic energy demand, remains limited (+1.7%) despite the increase in heat losses associated with nuclear production. In fact, final energy consumption, after transformation and internal use by the energy branch, fell by 2.6% against a backdrop of high energy prices and the promotion of sobriety. Industry, in particular, significantly reduced its energy consumption (-5.1%), while manufacturing output remained stable. Consumption in the residential and tertiary sectors is also down (-2.5%), despite slightly milder autumn temperatures than in 2022
Abstract (French)
En 2023, la production primaire d'energie rebondit de 13,3% en raison d'une meilleure disponibilite des reacteurs nucleaires que l'annee precedente. La consommation primaire, qui correspond a la demande interieure d'energie, demeure contenue (+1,7%) malgre la hausse des pertes de chaleur associees a la production nucleaire. En effet, la consommation finale d'energie, apres transformation et usages internes de la branche energie, baisse de 2,6 % dans un contexte de niveau eleve des prix des energies et de promotion de la sobriete. L'industrie en particulier reduit nettement sa consommation a usage energetique (-5,1%) alors que la production manufacturiere est stable. La consommation du residentiel et du tertiaire baisse egalement (-2,5%), malgre des temperatures automnales un peu moins clementes qu'en 2022. Les efforts pour economiser le gaz naturel et l'electricite observes en fin d'annee 2022 se sont prolonges en 2023. Le recours aux importations, nettes des exportations, diminue fortement (-12,0%). La facture energetique de la France est presque divisee par deux en 2023 principalement du fait du reflux des prix sur les marches de gros. Les emissions de CO2 liees a l'energie diminuent bien plus que la consommation primaire (-5,9%), en raison notamment d'une baisse tres sensible de la consommation d'energies fossiles, gaz naturel en particulier
