Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/17/2015 -- France has a well - developed and extensive domestic power network, including multiple interconnections with neighbouring states and robust generation and capacity. Consumption is expected to show only slow growth over our 10- year forecast period and there is little appetite for significant investment in new power infrastructure, though government renewable energy targets will drive robust growth in terms of wind, solar and geothermal power. Despite the expected growth in renewable energy, the domestic energy mix in France will remain dominated by EDF's nuclear power plants which will account for the majority of generation for much of the forecast period until government plans to reduce reliance on nuclear power are enacted.
