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

Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant.

Write at least 150 words.
The four pie charts demonstrate statistical information about
electricity
generation in two different countries from three distinct types of
energy
and the breakdown of renewables for the year 2009.
Overall
, it is noticeable that
Germany
produced more
electricity
from conventional thermal
energy
,
while
nuclear power was the primary source in
France
. Among the five renewable energies, hydroelectricity was predominantly utilized in
France
,
whereas
Germany
heavily relied on biomass and wind. Looking at the pie chart in more detail,
Germany
produced a larger volume of
electricity
, at 560 billion kWh, compared to
France
which generated 510 billion kWh. More than half of
electricity
in the former country was generated from conventional thermal
energy
, which made up the largest proportion among the three sources, followed by nuclear
energy
at 23%.
However
, the opposite trend was observed in
France
where nuclear
energy
was the main source compared to the smallest amount generated from conventional thermal
energy
. Both countries utilized nearly identical percentages of renewable
energy
, accounting for 17.4% in
Germany
and 13.7% in
France
. In more detail, biomass and wind power in
Germany
showed only a small gap in their percentages, constituting 39.3% and 36.9%, respectively.
In contrast
to
Germany
, only insignificant amounts of aforementioned sources were used for
electricity
production in
France
, at just 8.1% and 10.5% respectively,
while
hydroelectricity was the dominant source at 80.5%.
