That is primary energy. Only one third of that can actually be turned into electricity.

Yes, I realised that while having trouble getting to sleep last night. France produces around 350-400TWh from nuclear, so that should have made me question the number I quoted.

So the graph is a bit misleading in that various qualities of energy are lumped together.
