You should spend about 20 minutes on this task. The pie charts show the electricity generated in Germany and France from all sources and renewables in the year 2009. Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant. Write at least 150 words.

The pie chart provides information on the percentages of

electricity

produced from various

sources

and renewables in 2009 in two European countries. Looking from an

overall

perspective,Germany generated 560 billion kWh and France produced 510 billion kWh of

electricity

in 2009.In ,Germany conventional thermal

sources

contributed the highest to

production

whereas

,in France,Nuclear power supplied the maximum

electricity

.

To begin

,Out of 560 billion kWh of

electricity

produced in Germany,59.6% was generated using conventional thermal

sources

and nuclear energy

sources

donated 23 % to the

overall

production

.17.4 % of the

electricity

is generated using renewables Biomass was used for more than one-third of the total

production

and wind energy is utilized for 36.9 % which is six times higher than solar energy. Less than one-fifth was used from the hydroelectric

sources

.

However

,76 % of the

electricity

generated in France was from Nuclear

sources

and only 10.3% was contributed by conventional thermal

sources

.13.7% of

electricity

was produced by renewables with four out of five from hydroelectric

sources

and wind 10.5%.Biomass was used for less than 10% of

electricity

production

and solar contributed a negligible percentage.
