The pie charts show the electricity generated in Germany and France from all sources and renewables in the year 2009.

The diagrams above illustrate the amount of

electricity

produced in

Germany

and

France

by all types of sources and reusables in 2009.

Overall

, the main energy sources in

Germany

and

France

are different because in

Germany

conventional thermal was used a lot more than nuclear, and it is the opposite in

France

.

However

, renewable

electricity

contributes about the same amount in both countries. Generally, conventional thermal usage was the source that takes more than half of the percentage of

electricity

in

Germany

, 59.60%,

while

nuclear and renewables appeared to be similar with 23% and 17.4% respectively.

In contrast

, in

France

, nuclear power dominantly took up the pie chart, 76%, with the other 2 sources sharing the rest of the chart, 10.3% for conventional thermal and 13.7% for reusable

electricity

, which is not quite different from

Germany

.

Furthermore

, renewable

electricity

was contributed mainly by biomass, 39.9%, followed by wind, which was slightly lower 36.9%, in

Germany

. Whilst, in

France

, those were dominantly made up of hydroelectric, 80.5%, continued with wind and biomass, 10.5% and 8.1% respectively. Meanwhile, hydroelectric only took about 17.7% in

Germany

and little contribution from solar power, 6.1%.

Also

, both countries' renewables were not contributed by geothermal energy.
