Energy assets in France

Installed capacity of operating assets, not electricity generated — a GW of solar and a GW of gas do not produce the same energy in a year.

140.2 GW operating across 3,873 tracked assets, 2.0 GW under construction · last five years up 23% on the five before.

Built from assets operating today, by commissioning year — plants that closed before now are not in the data, so early years show only what survived. The forward bars are capacity physically under construction, not a forecast. A further 833 MW is under construction with no stated completion year. 4.3 GW of operating capacity has no commissioning year and sits outside the curve. 2 assets have an announced retirement date; closures are not otherwise tracked, so no net-capacity line is drawn.
