France 95% fossil-free milestone

In 2024, France achieved a milestone with its power grid being 95% fossil-free, thanks to a surge in nuclear and renewable energy production. Nuclear power rose by 13%, making up 67% of the country's energy, while renewables reached a record 28%, with hydropower leading the way. Solar power, although accounting for 4.3%, still surpassed natural gas. The use of fossil fuels like gas, coal, and oil hit its lowest levels since the 1950s. This achievement is significant as it demonstrates that a fossil-free energy system is possible, contributing to efforts against global warming and reducing the impacts of climate change.
