Provence has a long history of energy extraction. Coal has been mined in the region since ancient times, and coal production reached its peak in the 19th century. Coal was used to power factories, locomotives and homes. Today, coal mining in Provence is finished. However, the region continues to be an important source of energy. Hydraulic energy is produced by the numerous rivers of Provence. Solar energy is also an important source of renewable energy in Provence. Provence is engaged in the transition to a low-carbon economy. The region is investing in renewable energy to reduce its dependence on fossil fuels.
