Competitive and carbon-free energy
With a 95% decarbonized electricity mix and one of the most reliable systems in the world, France offers businesses stable, competitive energy that is aligned with European climate targets.
1st European high and very high voltage electricity transmission network RTE, 2022
96.2 % Electricity generated from decarbonized means of production in 2024 IEA, 2025
1st European electricity exporter in 2023 RTE, 2025
1st Nuclear energy producer in Europe AIEA, 2026
A reliable and efficient electrical system
Producing in France means benefiting from:
- Abundant and competitive electricity
- A stable and controllable supply
- Predictable tariffs, tailored to the needs of the most demanding industrial and digital sectors
With a 99.9995% power supply continuityrate(RTE, 2026), France’s electricity grid delivers outstanding reliability, especially for industry and data centres.
To accelerate large-scale projects, a rapid connection procedure makes it possible to significantly reduce network access times.
A clear strategy towards carbon neutrality
France is pursuing a goal of carbon neutrality by 2050. With “France 2030”, it is investing massively in a sustainable energy mix, which strengthens its competitiveness:
- Over 95% of the electricity produced in 2025 is decarbonised, thanks to nuclear power and renewable energies.
- Six new nuclear reactors currently under construction
- Accelerated deployment of renewable energies (electricity and heat) to reduce the share of fossil fuels to 40% in final energy consumption by 2030
- 50 offshore wind farms to be built by 2050

Since 2024, the green industry tax credit (C3IV) has been deployed to support the financing of key technologies: wind power, solar panels, batteries, heat pumps.
This 360-degree energy strategy offers a rare combination in Europe: stability of supply, competitive prices and low carbon intensity, a decisive advantage for the most demanding industrial and digital projects.
