France produces more than 100% of the electricity it consumes domestically from renewable and nuclear sources.

Omissions

• The verification uses 2025 data (the most recent full year before the session date of 2026-07-07), published by RTE in its 2025 Annual Electricity Review (released early 2026, e.g. cited by NucNet on 2026-03-05), so the MEP could have known this data.
• The claim conflates 'producing more than 100% of consumption' with the share of low-carbon sources in the national mix: low-carbon sources accounted for 95.2% of total generation (521.1 TWh of 547.5 TWh), but because France's total output exceeds its domestic consumption, low-carbon output equals ~117% of consumption.
• A large share of the surplus is exported; the claim does not mention this, though it does not affect the accuracy of the statement.
