In France, the law on the energy transition and green energy adopted by Parliament in July 2015 sets a ceiling on installed capacity in France of 63.2 GWe and sets an objective for reducing nuclear’s share of power production to 50% by 2025. Methods of implementation are still being defined at this time.
6.1.3. RENEWABLE ENERGIES MARKETS
Each year since 2008, renewable energies’ share of new generating capacity coming on line in the United States and Europe has grown more than that of fossil energies. While renewable energies, excluding hydropower, accounted for less than 5% of the electric power mix in 2011, national governments have often set a target of 15% to 20% of the mix by 2020. As shown on the chart below, more than 60% of the electricity from renewable sources was produced in Europe or in the United States in 2014.
