The production of nuclear heat in Finland experienced fluctuations from 2013 to 2023, hovering around 238,000 Terajoules in 2013 and standing at approximately 235,690 Terajoules in 2023. The year-on-year variations oscillated, with notable declines in 2017 (-3.57%) and 2020 (-2.26%), and increases in 2019 (4.26%) and 2021 (1.11%). The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five years leading up to 2023 was modest at 0.67%, indicating a stable yet slightly increasing trend.
Future trends to watch for:
- The forecasted CAGR for the next five years is estimated at 0.14%, suggesting a continued, albeit slow, growth in nuclear heat production.
- Increases in production are expected to be incremental, with annual outputs projected to rise steadily to about 237,740 Terajoules by 2028.
- Technological advancements and policy changes could impact future production levels, either accelerating growth or causing new fluctuations.
