France remains the leading producer of nuclear heat gross electricity in Europe, contributing 44.82% of the total in 2023, despite a slight year-on-year decline of 0.92%. Other countries with significant shares include Ukraine (8.91%), Sweden (7.56%), and Germany (7.55%), each displaying moderate declines. While traditional powerhouses show slight decreases, Belgium (4.01%) and the Netherlands (0.45%) exhibit notable growth, with year-on-year increases of 4.27% and 2.28% respectively. Cumulatively, over the past five years, the average variation shows minor, mostly negative, trends among the major players like France and Germany, indicating a potential shift in the nuclear power landscape.
Looking ahead, it is essential to monitor the continued decline in nuclear production among traditional leaders like the UK and Germany, contrasted by emerging growth in Belgium and the Netherlands. Potential policy changes, investments in renewable energy, and technological advancements will significantly influence these trends.
