Abstract
Institutions & Energy Policy
The General Directorate for Energy and Climate (DGEC) of the Ministry for the Ecological and Inclusive Transition (MEIT) is responsible for the development and implementation of France's energy policy.
The Energy Regulation Commission (CRE) regulates the electricity and gas markets.
Energy Supply
Oil:
Most of the oil consumed in France is imported; 52% in the form of crude oil (49 Mt in 2018) and 48% in the form of refined products (45 Mt, in 2018).
France received crude oil from three ports: Donges (near Nantes), Le Havre and Marseille. Six additional import points of refined products are located in Bordeaux, Dunkerque, Frontignan, La Rochelle, Port La Nouvelle, and Strasbourg.
Energy Prices
Electricity:
A reduced VAT rate of 5.5% is applied on the subscription part of households' electricity bills.
In 2019, electricity prices in France were 82% lower than in Germany for households and 30% lower for industry. This is the result of the importance of nuclear and hydro in the power mix.

Energy Consumption
Consumption per capita stood at 3.6 toe in 2018 and is 17% above the EU average. Electricity consumption per capita is 17% higher than the EU average due to the high penetration of electric heating (6 500 kWh in 2018).

Issues & Prospects
According to the revised PPE (2020), total energy consumption of fossil fuels in the reference case is planned to decrease by 35% by 2030, compared to 2012, with a reduction in consumption of 80% for coal, 34% for oil, and 22% for gas. Final energy consumption is planned to shrink by 16.5% in 2028 (relative to 2012).
