France’s nuclear output climbed 13% to a six-year high in 2024, accounting for 67% of the country’s total generation, transmission network operator Reseau de Transport d’Electricite (RTE) said in a statement on 20 January.

Improved nuclear production together with record output from renewables boosted France’s electricity production to a five-year high of 536.5 TWh, RTE said.

Net electricity exports almost doubled to a record of 89 TWh as domestic demand remain subdued due to sluggish economic growth.
