What is a low-carbon electricity mix for France?

This article examines low-carbon electricity mix for France. optimal power mix consists of ~75% renewable power, and the remaining ~25% is shared among conventional technologies. A social cost of carbon of 200€/tCO 2 would be enough to achieve a negative CO 2 emitting power system.

Is the French electricity sector decarbonized?

While the French electricity sector is relatively decarbonized, the relative proportions of renewable energy resources and nuclear power is a highly debated topic. With 63GW of installed capacity by the end of 2019, nuclear power dominates the French electricity mix, accounting for 70.6% of net electricity production in 2018 (CGDD, 2019).
