2019 electric forecast balance — Production offer

This dataset details the production offer in France (production facilities and erasure capacity) for the baseline case of the 2019 forecast balance from 2020 to 2025. The means of production can be distinguished according to their characteristics and operating constraints: * Fatal production whose energy would be lost if it were not used at the time it is available. These are intermittent productions such as wind or solar photovoltaic and more regular productions such as waterborne hydraulics or bioenergy. * The production of “base” intended to operate throughout the year. This is the case with the nuclear industry. * The so-called “semi-base” (coal-fired power plants and gas combined cycles for the most part) and “point” (fuel and combustion turbines, which are used only a few hours a year). These more flexible means of production adapt to changes in residual demand, i.e. the deflated electrical demand of fatal production.
