Macron announces that France will rid itself of coal-fired power generation by 2027

2023-09-26

French President Marcon announced on the 24th that in order to promote ecological transformation and achieve emission reduction goals, France will shut down and renovate the last two coal-fired power plants before 2027. During a television interview on the same day, Makron said that traditional fossil fuels are severely polluted, and in order to achieve ecological transformation, it is necessary to get rid of coal power generation. There are currently two coal-fired power plants in France, located in the western city of Cordemay and the eastern city of Saint Arwald, which will be completely transformed into biomass power plants. He also stated that France will attach importance to ecological transformation in the process of "re industrialization", such as promoting the localization of electric vehicle production. France has long relied mainly on nuclear energy for power generation, with a low proportion of coal-fired power. According to 2022 data released by the French transmission network company, despite being affected by the shutdown and maintenance of some nuclear reactors, nuclear power generation still accounted for 63% of the total electricity generation of that year, while the proportion of coal-fired power generation during the same period was only 0.6%. In addition, according to the EU's "Fit for 55" emission reduction plan, France needs to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% compared to 1990 by 2030. (New News Agency)
