[en] In 2019, the energy sector represented 2% of total added value in France. Energy was responsible for Euros 44 billion of France's 2019 trade deficit and, for an average household in 2018, represented 9.0% of the monthly budget. Just over half of the country's energy requirement was provided by primary domestic production. Although France now imports almost all the fossil fuels it needs and has extensively diversified its geographic sourcing, its significant use of nuclear energy means that the nation has been an electricity exporting country for the past 30 years or more. Electricity and gas, with less greenhouse effects, have progressively replaced oil and coal in the main industrial sectors, although oil-based products are still the norm in the transport sector. Renewable energy is taking a growing share in the country's energy mix, representing 17.2% of France's gross final energy consumption in 2019

En 2019, le secteur de l'energie represente 2 % de la valeur ajoutee en France. L'energie pese a hauteur de 44 MdEuros dans le deficit commercial de la France en 2019 et represente, pour les menages, une depense egale a 9,0 % de leur budget en 2018. La production nationale primaire represente un peu plus de la moitie de l'approvisionnement en energie du territoire. Si la France importe desormais la quasi-totalite des energies fossiles qu'elle consomme et en a progressivement diversifie la provenance geographique, la mise en place du programme nucleaire lui a permis d'etre exportatrice d'electricite depuis plus de 30 ans. L'electricite et le gaz, moins emetteurs de gaz a effet de serre que le petrole et le charbon, se sont progressivement substitues a ces derniers dans les principaux secteurs d'activite economique, meme si le petrole demeure incontournable dans les transports. Les energies renouvelables occupent une part croissante dans le mix energetique national, soit 17,2 % de la consommation finale brute d'energie en France en 2019Source
