Find here the data on electricity generation in France, presented either in aggregate or in detail by generation type: nuclear, conventional thermal, hydro, solar, wind and renewable thermal. The graphs illustrate in particular the emergence of new production sectors in the energy mix, with the development of solar, onshore wind and offshore wind power production capacities. The graphs from "Storage" section illustrate, in particular, the development of battery connections to the grid and pumped-storage hydroelectricity plants (PSH).

This graph gives an annual overview of the fleet of hydraulic pumped storage power stations, in mainland France (including Corsica).
Pumped-storage hydroelectricity (PSH): hydroelectric units that draw water at off-peak times from a lower basin to fill an upstream reservoir (high altitude lake). The water is then turbined at peak times to produce electricity.
