The pie charts below show units of electricity production by fuel source in Australia and France in 1980 and 2000.

The pie charts below show units of electricity production by fuel source in Australia and France in 1980 and 2000.
The pie graphs show how the
amount
of
electricity
which was produced from different sources in Australia and France changed in two separate years, 1980 and 2000.
Overall
, it can be seen that the total generation of
electricity
increased in both countries over the period shown, from 100
units
to 170
units
in Australia and 90
units
to 180
units
in France. Looking at the Australian pie charts in more detail,
it is clear that
electricity
production from coal increased from 50
units
in 1980 to 130
units
in 2000, which was the biggest change on the charts.
Similarly
, the
amount
of
electricity
which was generated from hydropower slightly increased from 20
units
to 36
units
. The production of
electricity
from natural gas and oil both decreased, from 20
units
and 10
units
respectively in 1980 to 2
units
in2000
Correct your spelling
in 2000
. Turning to the second set of pie charts, showing data from France, it is evident that the
amount
of
electricity
which was produced from nuclear power increased the most, from 15
units
in 1980 to 126
units
in 2000.
Electricity
generation from coal remained constant at 25
units
in both years. The production of
electricity
from oil grew slightly from 20
units
to 25
units
. Similar to Australia, the
amount
of
electricity
which was generated from natural gas decreased from 25
units
in 1980 to 2
units
in 2000.
