the graph below shows electricity production( in terawatt hours) in France between 1980 and 2012
The line graph illustrates
electricity
production by Thermal, Nuclear, Hydroelectric, and Renewables in France from 1980 to 2012. In these 32 years, nuclear has a considerable increase, while
other sources only experienced a slight fluctuation, compared to it.
In 1980, thermal stayed in the top position in terms of electricity
production, generating 120 terawatt
hours
of electricity
. Meanwhile nuclear was the second highest, producing around 70 terawatt
hours
, and hydroelectric also
provided similar quantities. However
, renewables were not used at that time.
Between 1980 and 2005, electricity
production from nuclear rose dramatically to a peak of over 425 terawatt
hours
. Conversely
, the figure for thermal decreased to only 50 terawatt
hours
and remained at this
level for the next 7 years. Although
hydroelectric generation went up and down, it remained stable, at between 50-100 terawatt
hours
. Renewables generation rose slightly after 2000, to approximately 25 terawatt
hours
in 2007.Submitted by yihualuo525 on
