The pie charts show the electricity generated in Germany and France from all sources and renewables in the year 2009. Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant.
SAMPLE ANSWER
The pie charts compare the amount of electricity produced from all sources and renewables in Germany and France in 2009.
Overall, the adverse trends of electricity generation from the traditional thermal and nuclear method were observed in two countries but the total percentages of energy produced from renewables in each country were similar, while, there were big differences in the proportion of renewables’ types generated.
It is clear that conventional thermal was used mostly to produce electricity, at 59.6%, in Germany; meanwhile, the figure was only 10.3% in France. Similarly, France mainly generates electricity by Nuclear, at exactly 76.0%, but this type occupied just 23.0% in Germany.
Germany used Biomass and Wind quite equally as renewables, at 39.3% and 36.9% respectively, while these types of energy were small proportions of electricity generated in France, at roughly 10% each. The greatest figure of renewables was produced by Hydroelectric, at 80.5% in France, but it remained only 17.7% in Germany. Both countries depended on small figures of Solar and Geothermal, which were from 0.0% to 6.1%. Hydroelectric generation reached highest, at 80.5% in France.
