Methodology & sources

How to read the numbers in this dashboard: definitions, data sources, and known caveats.

Definitions

Final energy consumption
Energy delivered to the end consumer for actual use (heating, mobility, industrial processes...), after transformation and transport, as opposed to primary energy (extracted before transformation). This is the measure used for every figure on this site.
Electrification rate
Share of electricity in the final energy consumption of a sector or sub-sector, as a percentage: electricity consumption divided by total consumption, across all energy carriers.
Sector / sub-sector
This site distinguishes 5 sectors (residential, tertiary, industry, transport, agriculture). The electrification rate and consumption by sector are Eurostat's direct figures (harmonised EU source, see below). Detail by sub-sector comes from separate SDES sources, with a different vintage and classification: energy end-uses (heating, hot water...) for residential/tertiary (CEREN), transport modes (energy balance) and the farming branch (PEFA). It may therefore not sum exactly to the sector total. Industry is deliberately left without sub-sectors: the only breakdown available (PEFA, NACE branches) has a scope too far removed from the Eurostat total to be shown without being misleading.
Charging session
A connection between a vehicle and a charging point, from plug-in to unplug: it carries a start timestamp, a duration, an amount of energy delivered, and a success status. It is the basic unit of the Charging pages.
Location type
Category of the location where the charging point sits. The Charging pages distinguish five: business (private use), business (open to the public), local authority, multi-unit residential, and trucks. Each session is linked to one of them.

Two kinds of data

The dashboard combines two ways of bringing data in, without ever fabricating any:

Automated open-data feeds
Most modules: data is pulled directly from a public API (Eurostat, Enedis, GRDF, IRVE, DiDo/SDES, ADEME, Agence ORE, Ecolab) and re-aggregated automatically on every update.
Assisted extraction from public PDFs
Where no API exists (monthly registrations by energy, heavy-truck market structure, Avere/Gireve barometers, CCFA/CSIAM orders), figures are extracted from official PDF publications, with the original kept for verification.

How the figures are computed and selected

A few deliberately simple, verifiable computation choices:

Electric share
Always a ratio (electric vehicles ÷ total), recomputed from raw counts rather than taken from an already-rounded percentage, so it stays independent of the source's unit.
Aggregation at the source
Very large datasets (IRVE charging points, the 12-million-row DPE database, municipal consumption) are never pulled row by row: they are aggregated server-side, and only small pre-reduced totals are published.
Selection & scope
Every figure keeps its source's scope: 5.1-tonne heavy-truck threshold, tonnage × energy limited to goods categories (N2/N3), France and EU27 rows for the European comparison. An unpublished value stays empty, never estimated.
Derived values, flagged
When a source only publishes a cumulative figure, the missing monthly detail is reconstructed by exact difference (never invented) and flagged as derived.

Official targets (PPE3)

The “target” trajectories overlaid on the homepage and the Industry page come from the Decree no. 2026-76 of 12 February 2026 on the 3rd multiannual energy programme (PPE3) (new tab) (published in the Official Journal on February 13, 2026). The decree sets the share of electricity in final energy consumption at 34% in 2030 and 38% in 2035 (up from 27% in 2023), and, for the first time, a numerical trajectory for industry: from 30% today to 47% in 2035.

This “30%” starting point for industry, cited in the decree, does not exactly match the Eurostat electrification rate shown on this site for 2024 (35.7%): this is likely a methodological or scope difference between the PPE's energy accounting and the Eurostat breakdown (nrg_bal_c) used here. Both values are shown without being merged.

Electric vehicle charging

The Charging pages rely on the National charging data observatory (Advenir × ADEME) (new tab) (34.2 million sessions, 2016-07 → 2026-08). Charging stations funded by the Advenir and ADEME programmes (~150k charging points), not the whole French charging stock: the levels and the shares between site types are not directly representative of the stock as a whole.

24-hour charging curve
For each session, the energy delivered is spread pro rata across every hour of the day it spans (a session straddling two hours feeds both, proportionally). The average power shown for a given hour is the energy attributed to it divided by the cumulative active charging time within that hour, calculated only over sessions that actually delivered energy. This is therefore an average power “at the plug”, smoothed over the vehicle's entire dwell time, not a peak power. Even trucks therefore show modest values, since many charge slowly overnight at a depot.
Reliability and failed sessions
The success rate is the share of completed sessions out of the total, by location type and by month. Failed sessions are never discarded: they form a dimension of their own (reliability) and are counted in the energy breakdown; they are only excluded from the average-power denominator, since no energy was delivered.
Assigning sessions to a month
A session's month is derived from its actual start date, never from the source file's name: a file dated “2022-08” may contain sessions that started anywhere from June to August.

Known caveats

  • The electrification rate, total consumption, and the historical series by sector all come directly from Eurostat (nrg_bal_c), regenerated automatically whenever the data is updated: the reference year shown (2024) is the latest one available for France at generation time, not a value fixed by hand.
  • The flow diagram (Sankey) is now rebuilt from Eurostat (nrg_bal_c), just like the sector layer: same source and vintage as the sector electrification rate. Only the breakdown by end-use sub-sector remains sourced from SDES/CEREN and updated manually: Eurostat stops at the sector level, it doesn't go down to end-use. This layer therefore has neither the same vintage nor the same method. The sum of a sector's sub-sectors, or the rate recalculated from them, can differ noticeably from the Eurostat sector figure shown: two independent sources are presented side by side. Each sub-sector displays its actual vintage in its badge (“{year} data · SDES/CEREN”): residential 2024, tertiary 2020, transport 2024, agriculture 2023 (different source workbooks).
  • The Charging pages only cover charging points funded by the Advenir and ADEME programmes (~150,000 charging points), not France's entire charging infrastructure: the levels and the shares between location types are not directly representative of charging across France as a whole.
  • The “France (weighted average)” series compared against the PPE3 targets doesn't exist as such in the source data: it is calculated by weighting each sector's rate by its consumption in the same year, the figure the series publishes for each year. The frozen reference-year weight (2024) is only a fallback for a year in which a sector would not publish its volume, which happens in no year of the current series.
  • The Electricity consumption (Enedis) and gas (GRDF) pages cover the distribution network. Enedis operates about 95% of that network on the electricity side, but carries only 80.0% of the country's final electricity consumption in 2024, and 58% for industry alone. These pages exclude large industrial sites connected directly to the transmission network (RTE HTB / GRTgaz): the “industry” share is therefore under-estimated compared with full national balances. On the Enedis side, the series starts in 2018: a change in segmentation makes earlier years non-comparable, so they are excluded.
  • The charging point fleet (IRVE) register only includes charging points that are open to the public and declared under the IRVE scheme: neither the private charging points (homes, closed businesses) nor undeclared charging points are counted.
  • The carbon content of electricity (éCO2mix) page shows an RTE estimate (emission factors by generation source), not a full life-cycle analysis.
  • The Housing energy ratings (DPE) page only covers homes that have undergone an energy assessment (sale, rental, new build), not an exhaustive census of the housing stock, with a likely bias toward homes currently on the market. For readability, the charts on that page group ADEME’s ~15 heating-energy labels into 6 families (electricity, natural gas, heating oil/LPG/propane, wood, district heating and cooling, other). Shares add up within a family, and the grouping is reflected in the “View data” tables.
  • The vehicle registrations data is published by SDES with an annual vintage (no monthly granularity), and the data centers figures only cover centers using more than 1 GWh per year.
  • The electric-vehicle fleet is shown from two complementary angles: the stock as of 1 January (annual SDES source, all segments: cars, light commercial vehicles, trucks, buses & coaches) and a quarterly view of plug-in cars (Agence ORE, passenger cars only). The two definitions are close but not identical. The departmental breakdown of the fleet stays on passenger cars.
  • The private-owner / business split of the fleet reflects the status of the registered keeper (SDES column STATUT_UTILISATEUR), not the vehicle's actual use: a van owned by a leasing firm and driven by a private individual counts as business-held, and conversely for a sole trader.
  • Passenger-car and van orders (CCFA/CSIAM barometer) are a leading indicator: an order book, distinct from vehicles actually registered.
  • The France vs Europe comparison uses ACEA aggregates (France and EU27 rows); the breakdown by energy has only been published since 2023.
  • The tonnage × energy breakdown of new heavy trucks comes from the European Environment Agency's CO₂ micro-data (goods categories N2/N3): latest complete year 2022, as this source lags by about two years.
  • Displayed charging prices come from the pricing declared in the IRVE file (filled in by a subset of charging points); the home benchmark (regulated CRE tariff) and public-charging benchmark (CLCV survey) are external reference points cited with their source.
  • SDES monthly energy conjuncture data, rendered on five pages. Units differ from one file to the next, GWh for electricity, TWh of gross calorific value (GCV) for gas, kt for oil and coal: summing across carriers goes through the summary file, never through a direct addition. The scope is national and must not be extended with an Enedis or GRDF distribution series. The series adjusted for climate and working days (CVC-CJO) are the ones to read for a trend, the raw series for a volume. The most recent months are revised with each edition, retail prices lag volumes by several months, and a month with no data leaves a gap rather than an interpolation.
  • The annual carbon intensity of electricity is a simple average of half-hourly readings, not weighted by consumption: an off-peak half-hour counts as much as a peak one, while the most consumed hours are the most carbon-intensive. The published value is therefore lower than the weighted average. On the seasonal component alone, at monthly granularity, the measured gap ranges from 0.7% to 5.4% depending on the year between 2019 and 2025, about 1 gCO2/kWh on the 19.0 g of 2024; the intraday component adds to it in the same direction. Half-hourly readings are not kept in the repository, so the weighting cannot be recomputed as things stand.
  • Slope-break marker on electrification-rate curves: the year retained is the one minimising the residual sum of squares of two linear regressions, one before and one after. It is displayed only if the two slopes differ by at least 0.1 point per year, if the break reduces the error by at least 20% against a single straight line, and if the same year still comes out when the first or the last observation is dropped. Without those three conditions no vertical line is drawn: splitting a series in two always reduces the error, which does not identify an inflection.
  • The base-100 indices of the monthly signal by voltage level are computed on a fixed base, the average of the twelve months ending in July 2017, written under the chart. A base taken on the first point of a rolling window would move forward by one month with every publication, and the point gaps quoted in the commentaries would describe a different quantity without any file having changed.
  • The OPERAT declaring panel is not constant from one vintage to the next: 14,963 declared lines over the reference period, 16,531 in 2021, 14,400 in 2023, 12,668 in 2024 and 7,509 in 2025, an ongoing campaign. An electricity share rising from one vintage to the next therefore mixes electrification with a composition effect. The number of declarations is published alongside the series so that the two can be told apart.
  • The last two calendar months are excluded from the monthly DPE series: a diagnosis reaches ADEME with a delay, and recent months would come back incomplete. That two-month delay is a declared assumption, not a measurement: the repository keeps no footprint of monthly totals from one run to the next, which makes late reporting impossible to observe. The last published month remains the least secure point of the series.

Emission factors

Supporting calculation building block (not a dedicated page): a small selection of emission factors (gCO2e per kWh) by energy carrier, taken from ADEME Base Carbone® (version V23.6) (new tab). It serves as a reusable building block for modules that convert energy consumption into emissions (e.g. éCO2mix, emissions-gap calculations).

These factors come from distinct Base Carbone items and do not compare row to row. They are therefore grouped by scope: biogenic CO2 is counted in the combustion of cordwood and is not counted in the regulatory factor for pellets, which accounts for most of the gap between the two.

Electricity grid mix (generation, upstream and losses)

  • Electricity - average mix, mainland France0.052 kgCO2e/kWh

Fuel combustion, upstream included

  • Natural gas - combustion0.243 kgCO2e/kWh PCI
  • Heating oil - combustion0.325 kgCO2e/kWh PCI
  • Heavy fuel oil - combustion0.325 kgCO2e/kWh PCI
  • LPG / propane - combustion0.271 kgCO2e/kWh PCI
  • Hard coal - combustion0.377 kgCO2e/kWh PCI
  • Log wood (20% moisture) - combustion0.603 kgCO2e/kWh PCI

Regulatory DPE factor, combustion only

  • Wood pellets - boiler combustion0.027 kgCO2e/kWh
  • Wood pellets - stove combustion0.032 kgCO2e/kWh

The average grid mix factor follows a different method from the hourly carbon intensity published on the éCO2mix page: the two describe the same object and do not give the same number.

Selection restricted to the carriers relevant to this dashboard (electricity, fossil fuels and wood used for heating). Each value is the "total" row returned by the API for the item (combustion plus upstream already summed on the ADEME side when the item is broken down): no summing is done by this script. District heating networks have been excluded: Base Carbone publishes only one value per named network (hundreds of very heterogeneous entries), not a single national average usable here.
