Global Nuclear Power Set to Hit Record High in 2025

The International Energy Agency predicts nuclear energy will account for nearly 10% of global electricity, driven by China's rapid expansion and rising electricity demands.

The International Energy Agency (IEA) forecasts global nuclear electricity production will reach 2,900 TWh in 2025, the highest level in history.
China leads the global resurgence in nuclear energy, with 25 of the 52 reactors started since 2017 being of Chinese design, while Western nations face delays and high costs.
Over 70 gigawatts of nuclear capacity are under construction globally, marking one of the most significant expansions in three decades.
The nuclear sector faces challenges, including reliance on a few countries for uranium enrichment, with Russia controlling 40% of the market, raising supply chain concerns.
Small modular reactors (SMRs) are being explored as a potential solution to cost and scalability issues, though their deployment remains in early stages.
