Regional electrification dynamics

Change in the share of electricity in energy delivered over the distribution networks, by region, 2018 to 2024.

Scope and limits of the indicator

The share here is electricity within the “electricity + gas” total delivered over the distribution networks (Enedis, GRDF). It is not an electrification rate: petroleum products, district heating and biomass are absent, as are sites connected to the transmission networks. The absolute level is therefore not comparable to the national rate published elsewhere on this site. The trend can be read: it is the same measure year on year.

Electrification, or a change of mix?

The change decomposes exactly into two effects: what each sector electrified at constant scope, and what the shift in sector weights produced. The two columns add up to the total change.

A negative structure effect means a weakly electrified sector gained weight; a positive one, that an already electrified sector did. A share rising because industry is shrinking is not electrification. This column isolates that case.

Orange = mild year, blue = cold year. The colour encodes the effect on consumption, not temperature: a mild year lowers heating demand, so it pushes the same way as electrification. That is what to spot before reading a trend.

Over the window shown, heating demand falls by 12.0% between 2018 and 2024 for climate reasons alone.

Our reading

Over 2018-2024 heating demand falls 12% for climate reasons alone, 2024 being the third mildest year since 1980. Part of the residential dynamic read above is therefore that effect, not a change in use. These regional series are not climate-corrected, as the SDES publishes no correction at this level.

Our reading

Housing drives the dynamic in ten regions out of twelve, which points to gas boilers being replaced rather than to an industrial shift. The two exceptions, Brittany and Pays de la Loire, are also those where the mix effect is most negative: their electricity share rises more slowly not because less is being electrified, but because a weakly electrified sector has gained weight there.

Industrial basins, with no blind spot

The 40 inter-municipal authorities consuming the most industrial energy in 2024, among the 99 above 0.5 TWh.

Industrial basins: all-networks scope

These figures come from the SDES “Données locales de l'énergie” corpus, which consolidates all network operators: 84 operators on industrial lines alone, including RTE and the gas transmission operators. The “distribution network scope” warning attached to the site's other views therefore does not apply here: industrial electricity is worth nearly twice what the Enedis network alone shows.

The inter-municipal authority is an administrative level, not an economic one. A basin straddling two authorities appears twice, and smaller than it is. The INSEE employment zone would be economically sounder, but authorities do not nest within them and the source does not publish the municipal level for electricity: it cannot be reconstructed here.

A scope caveat, visible in the data itself. The SDES “industry” sector appears to include electricity generation from gas: the Pays de Landivisiau authority, home to a combined-cycle plant commissioned in 2022, loses 61.9 points of electricity share over the period, a move no deindustrialisation explains. The gas volumes in this table should therefore be read as energy delivered to sites classified as industrial, not as energy consumed by industrial processes.

Source: SDES, Données locales de l'énergie, EPCI level, vintages 2018 and 2024. The “masked levels” column counts the fine levels the source masks for business confidentiality and aggregates into the row: it is each local area's own reliability index. The published authorities carry 77.2% of the industrial energy of the authorities retained.

Our reading

The two leading territories show that « industrial basin » says nothing about the carrier: Dunkirk consumes 9.1 TWh at 63.3% electricity and gains 12.7 points since 2018, while Aix-Marseille-Provence consumes twice as much at 11.2% and loses 7. Industrial energy concentrates in about a hundred inter-municipal authorities; across the forty published here, their degree of electrification spreads from 2.6% to 93.5%.

Share of electricity by department, including petroleum products

Share of electricity in electricity, gas and the petroleum products sold in each department of metropolitan France, in 2024. The petroleum products counted are road fuels, heating oil, non-road diesel and heavy fuel oil.

+2.4 ptvs 2012
share of electricity in metropolitan France (2024)
42.1 TWh
of heating oil sold in 2024, against 90.3 TWh in 2012

Scope of the share

The denominator brings together three energy carriers: electricity and gas consumed, all network operators combined, and petroleum products sold in the department. Wood, network heat, coal, LPG and jet fuel are not included, for lack of a departmental breakdown. This share is therefore not an electrification rate of total final consumption, and it does not compare with the one on the home page.

Petroleum products are sales. A department crossed by a major road sells more diesel than its residents use, and its share of electricity is mechanically lower as a result.
