Electrification Dashboard 2025: a tool for monitoring and steering electrification trends across different sectors

The electrification of end-use sectors must contribute to the phase-out of fossil fuels, which is a twofold priority for France: a necessity in the fight against climate change and an imperative for improving the country’s energy and industrial sovereignty.

To support the electrification plan announced by the Government, RTE and Enedis, in collaboration with the public authorities, have developed a dashboard tracking the electrification of end-use sectors. This publication brings together various indicators on the role of electricity in the energy mix, electricity consumption, sector-specific drivers of electrification, and demand flexibility. These indicators will enable the precise identification of electrification trends across different sectors, by end-use and according to associated drivers (number of electric vehicles, number of heat pumps, number of projects in industry and the digital sector, etc.). They will thus provide insights to public authorities and all stakeholders to enable any necessary adjustments to the country’s electrification strategy.

Based on data available at the end of 2025, the dashboard highlights an electrification trend that still needs to be significantly redirected in France.

  • In 2024, fossil fuels (natural gas, coal and oil) still account for 56 per cent of energy consumption in France, mainly in the transport sector (90 per cent of consumption) and in industry (50 per cent of consumption).
  • Electric mobility is gaining significant momentum in 2025: a 25 per cent increase in available charging capacity and a 33 per cent rise in the number of light electric vehicles. However, this trend would need to accelerate for France to be able to meet its decarbonisation targets.
  • The share of residential heating powered by electricity has been rising steadily since the 2000s, but sales of heat pumps fell in 2024 (down 20 per cent compared with 2023) and are stagnating in 2025.
  • For industry and data centres, many projects currently in development have secured contractual access to the grid, but the rate at which these projects are actually implemented remains uncertain.

These indicators will be updated regularly, notably through RTE’s publications on developments in the electricity system. Some of these indicators, such as consumption or connection requests, are already tracked in RTE’s Electricity Report and are updated in the report for the first half of 2026 (in French only).
