The historical data from 2013 to 2023 shows a fluctuating trend in the nuclear heat energy supply in the Netherlands. Starting from a low value in 2013, the supply initially increased significantly in 2014, followed by a period of gradual decline and minor recovery phases. The value stood at 908.72 thousand tonnes of oil equivalent in 2023.
The last two years saw minimal year-on-year changes with a minor decline of -0.16% in 2023. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over the past five years was 2.27%, indicating a relatively stable yet slow growth in recent years.
The forecasted data from 2024 to 2028 suggests a slight downward trend with consistently small declines. The forecasted 5-year CAGR is -0.12%, and the overall growth rate forecasted is -0.58%, which underscores a stagnant to minimally decreasing trend in nuclear heat energy supply.
Future trends to watch for:
- The impact of governmental policies on nuclear energy.
- Technological advancements in nuclear energy efficiency and safety.
- The role of nuclear energy in the broader energy transition towards renewable sources.
