In the first half of 2024, the average electricity price for households in France peaked at 27.76 euro cents per kilowatt-hour because of an increase in power taxes and levies. Since 2010, the electricity prices for household consumption have been continuously increasing from 12.83 euro cents per kilowatt-hour. Residential energy consumption in France The residential energy consumption in France mainly comprised electricity and renewable energy, although gas still covered a relevant share of the residential energy mix. The price of this fossil fuel for households was also increasing and amounted to 0.12 euros per kilowatt-hour by the end of the year. The development of renewable energy sources in France Although nuclear power still accounted for the most important part of electricity production in France, the second-leading electricity source was hydropower.

In 2023, electricity prices for non-household users in France with an annual consumption between 500 and 2,000 megawatt-hours stood at 17.9 euro cents per kilowatt-hour, a decline compared to the previous year. Meanwhile, electricity prices for non-residential consumers with an annual consumption of 20,000 to 70,000 megawatt-hours were generally cheaper compared to industries with a lower electricity consumption.

Ireland, Italy, and Germany had some of the highest household electricity prices worldwide, as of March 2025. At the time, Irish households were charged around 0.45 U.S. dollars per kilowatt-hour, while in Italy, the price stood at 0.43 U.S. dollars per kilowatt-hour. By comparison, in Russia, residents paid almost 10 times less. What is behind electricity prices? Electricity prices vary widely across the world and sometimes even within a country itself, depending on factors like infrastructure, geography, and politically determined taxes and levies. For example, in Denmark, Belgium, and Sweden, taxes constitute a significant portion of residential end-user electricity prices. Reliance on fossil fuel imports Meanwhile, thanks to their great crude oil and natural gas production output, countries like Iran, Qatar, and Russia enjoy some of the cheapest electricity prices in the world. Here, the average household pays less than 0.1 U.S. dollars per kilowatt-hour. In contrast, countries heavily reliant on fossil fuel imports for electricity generation are more vulnerable to market price fluctuations.

The Electric Utilities industry comprises all stages required to deliver electricity to end users in France, including generation, transmission, distribution and retail supply. EDF dominates the industry through its ownership of France’s nuclear power fleet in the electricity generation segment and leading share of customer accounts in the electricity retail supply segment. Decarbonisation efforts have shaped France’s electricity value chain in recent years, with developments in energy efficiency weighing on electricity consumption. Revenue is forecast to expand at a compound annual rate of 9.9% over the five years through 2025, reaching €143.3 billion. The pandemic spurred a drop in electricity consumption in 2020, driving a decline in electricity generation and supply volumes and pushing down revenue. France’s dependence on domestic nuclear power initially insulated consumers from the full impact of soaring fossil fuel prices in the aftermath of the pandemic. However, a slump in output from nuclear power and renewables left France exposed to a renewed surge in fossil fuel prices following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022. This caused a spike in revenue in the electricity generation segment of the industry, though growth was held back by government intervention at the retail supply level. A resulting slump in the retail supply segment was offset by growing profit from non-gas electricity generation and artificially high returns in the electricity transmission and distribution segments. Renewed growth in nuclear power output and a gradual normalisation in global energy markets have since caused revenue to come down. That being said, revenue is expected to remain above pre-pandemic levels in the current year, as wholesale prices remain elevated and the government is pursuing tax hikes on energy bills to recoup funds used to support consumers through the energy crisis. Still, revenue is set to decline by 4.4% in 2025. Over the five years through 2030, revenue is slated to expand at a compound annual rate of 0.6% to reach €147.4 billion. Revenue is set to continue to moderate in the near term as energy prices continue to come down from the extraordinary highs recorded in recent years. The electricity generation segment will be characterised by accelerated expansion of renewables capacity in the coming years as the French government pursues decarbonisation objectives. The electrification of transport raises the prospect of renewed growth in electricity consumption, boosting revenue in the electricity supply segment.
