The graph below shows electricity production (in terawatt hours) in France between! 1980 and 2012
The line graph compares the amount of
electricity
produced in France using four different sources of power
over a period
of 32 years. It is clear that
nuclear power
was by far the most important means of electricity
generation over the period
shown. Renewables provided the lowest amount of electricity
in each year. In 1980, thermal power
stations were the main source of electricity
in France, generating around 120 terawatt
hours
of power
. Nuclear and hydroelectric power
stations produced just under 75 terawatt
hours
of electricity
each, and renewables provided a negligible amount. Just one year later, nuclear power
overtook thermal power
as the primary source of electricity
. Between 1980 and 2005, electricity
production from nuclear power
rose dramatically to a peak of 430 terawatt
hours
. By contrast
, the figure for thermal power
fell to only 50 terawatt
hours
in 1985,
and remained at Remove the comma
apply
this
level for the rest of the period
. Hydroelectric power
generation remained relatively stable, at between 50 and 80 terawatt
hours
, for the whole 32-year period
, but renewable electricity
production saw only a small rise to approximately 25 terawatt
hours
