Nuclear power plants
In 2011, nuclear energy accounted for 78 percent of total electricity generation. 57 reactors are currently still in operation.
Hydropower plants
In 2014, around 2,600 hydropower plants with an installed capacity of 25,400 MW were in operation in France. In 2016, hydropower accounted for 12.2% of the French electricity supply.
Only power plants with an installed capacity> 100 MW are listed in the table.
Wind farms
According to The Wind Power , wind turbines with a total output of 16,646 MW were in operation at the end of 2019 , of which only 10 MW were offshore. Numerous offshore wind farms are to be built in the next few years .
Offshore wind farms
The list is arranged by body of water. Within the individual categories, the wind farms are initially divided into operated, under construction and planned wind farms. The wind farms are then sorted alphabetically according to their (planned) completion date and then.
