Confronted with energy challenges, the french are asking for more actions
‘The French and hydrogen energy’ barometer is an annual initiative of Teréga, carried out in partnership with Harris Interactive, which provides a better understanding of the perception that the French have of energies and particularly of renewable energies. The 2022 edition reveals their fears and aspirations for the energy challenges ahead.
The French are increasingly mobilised on energy issues
The first finding of this barometer is that the subject of energy is even more important to the French than it was in 2021: 75% of them are interested in energy issues, an increase of 10 points. Paradoxically, the perceived level of information does not seem to have changed.
A slight majority of French people (56%) feel well informed, which corresponds to last year’s survey. This stagnation should encourage the public authorities and the players in the sector to reflect on how to strengthen education for the general public. As such, 60% of them think that the issue of energy is not discussed enough in the media.
This new edition shows, however, that the French are well informed about renewable energies, particularly solar and hydraulic, while their perception of fossil fuels continues to deteriorate.
