Abstract

Against a backdrop of sharply rising oil and gas prices, France's energy balance deteriorated by EUR 68 billion. With a structural surplus of electricity, France could have benefited from a positive shock for this part of its energy supply, but, according to our estimate, the unavailability of part of its nuclear power fleet added EUR 16 billion to the energy bill in 2022. Dans un contexte de forte hausse des prix du pétrole et du gaz, la balance énergétique française s’est dégradée de 68 milliards d’euros. Structurellement excédentaire en électricité, la France aurait pu bénéficier d’un choc positif pour cette partie de son approvisionnement énergétique, mais l’indisponibilité d’une partie du parc électronucléaire a alourdi la facture énergétique de 16 Mds€ en 2022, d’après notre estimation.
