In 2023, France dominated European nuclear heat production with 79.96 Mtoe, though facing a decrease of 5.77% from the previous year. Germany also saw a decline of 6.37%, which is notable given its energy transition policies. In contrast, Belgium and the Netherlands had significant year-on-year growth, at 1.56% and 1.77% respectively. Other countries like Sweden, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia experienced positive growth roughly around 1%. Over the last five years, the combined CAGR indicates slight overall growth, driven by increased efficiency in some facilities and policy shifts in nuclear power adoption.
Future trends to watch include:
- Expansion plans or regulatory changes in countries with increasing production like Belgium and the Netherlands.
- The impact of energy transition strategies on nuclear power in Germany and France.
- Technological advancements and investments in nuclear infrastructure across Europe.
