Renewables in France in 2017. Monitoring of Directive 2009/28/EC on the promotion of the use of renewable energies - October 2018
Description
The share of renewables in the final gross energy consumption in France amounted to 16.3% in 2017, according to provisional estimates. The rise of renewable energies has been significant since 2005, in particular in biofuels, solid biomass, heat pumps, wind and, to a lesser extent, photovoltaic (solar). In 2017, the share of renewable energies was up by 0.3%, a slower rise than in previous years. This deceleration can be explained by a drop in hydropower, a lower need for solid biomass used for heating due to mild weather, and by increased energy consumption. In order to achieve the target of a 23% share in gross final energy consumption by 2020, the pace of growth of renewable energies needs to be accelerated
Abstract (French)
La part des energies renouvelables dans la consommation finale brute d'energie en France s'eleve a 16,3 % en 2017, selon les estimations provisoires. La croissance des energies renouvelables est importante depuis 2005, notamment avec le developpement des biocarburants, de la biomasse solide, des pompes a chaleur, de l'eolien et, dans une moindre mesure, du photovoltaique. En 2017, la part des energies renouvelables progresse de 0,3 point, rythme plus faible que les annees precedentes. Ce ralentissement s'explique en particulier par une hydraulicite en baisse, de moindres besoins de biomasse solide a usage de chauffage en raison de la douceur climatique et une consommation d'energie en hausse. Afin d'atteindre l'objectif d'une part de 23 % dans la consommation finale brute a l'horizon 2020, le rythme de developpement des energies renouvelables reste a accelerer
