BMI View:

Since the 2011 Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster and the 2012 presidential elections, French
dependence on nuclear energy has been under the spotlight and has been set to be diluted in favour of
renewables. President Hollande has restated a goal of reducing nuclear generation from 75% to 50% of the
electricity mix. This also leaves the door open for gas to play a larger role. However, given the influence of
the nuclear lobby in France, Hollande's cabinet is likely to struggle to achieve these targets. Overall, the
future of energy growth is uncertain and the outlook for refiners and fuel distributors remains poor.

The main trends and developments in the French oil and gas sector are:

• President Hollande in July 2013 reiterated France's moratorium on hydraulic fracturing (fracking), which
effectively bans exploration for shale oil and gas and dashed industry hopes that he might soften his
stance. This was in line with previous declarations and he has insisted on the fact that this would be his
policy throughout his term in office. Another key aspect of Hollande's energy policy is his ambitions of
reducing nuclear generation from 75% to 50% of the electricity mix, although his cabinet might struggle
to achieve this target given the weight of France's nuclear lobby.
