We present a view of a long-term French electricity production sector with a MARKAL approach. The aim of MARKAL is to optimise energy systems in the long- mid- term with an explicit description of the technologies used. Using the example of French electricity supply, we will illustrate the tool's potential and provide the necessary technical information for assessing the extent to which MARKAL models provide a good opportunity for helping industry leaders and decision-makers who are involved in the electricity sector to make energy strategy choices-at regional, national and international level
