President Emmanuel Macron, at a nuclear energy summit in Paris, actively sought investors for data centers, emphasizing that France’s nuclear power, which supplies approximately 70% of its electricity, enables it to meet the challenges posed by artificial intelligence. Despite currently operating around 320 data centers with nearly one gigawatt of capacity—trailing Germany—France’s data center growth rate has surged to 25-30% annually, as noted by Michaël Reffay, director of France Datacenter. Last year, France also attracted the highest foreign direct investments globally, according to UN data.
