What is included in the France gas consumption dataset?

This dataset measures monthly natural gas consumption in France, including industrial usage by sector, district heating, centralised power generation, and the share of renewable biomethane in the grid.

How far back does the French gas consumption data go?

The monthly gas consumption series for France start in 2006 and are updated regularly with the latest releases from Open Data Réseaux Énergies.

Why is weather-corrected gas consumption important?

Weather-corrected consumption adjusts raw gas volumes to account for temperature variations. This allows analysts to understand the underlying trend in French gas demand, independent of whether a winter was unusually warm or cold.

Which French regions are covered in this gas data?

The dataset features regional gas consumption figures for several French administrative regions, including Île-de-France, Normandy, Brittany, and Grand Est.

About this data

France gas consumption by sector is published monthly by Open Data Réseaux Énergies. This dataset provides monthly gas consumption in TWh and GWh since 2006, covering industrial customers, district heating, and centralised power generation. It includes raw and weather-corrected consumption for the GRDF network, alongside the renewable gas share. Regional breakdowns are available for areas like Île-de-France, Normandy, and Brittany.
