In 2023, France remained the leader in nuclear heat gross electricity production in Europe, contributing 33.91 million tonnes of oil equivalent, although experiencing a slight decline of 0.92% from the previous year. Ukraine, Germany, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and Spain followed with values of 6.79, 5.74, 5.61, 4.68, and 4.95 respectively, with mixed percentage changes; significant declines were observed in Germany (-2.74%) and the United Kingdom (-3.49%), while Spain recorded a modest increase of 0.64%. Belgium posted the highest increase at 4.38%, with other notable rises in the Czech Republic (1.02%), Finland (0.76%), Bulgaria (0.67%), and Slovakia (1.31%). Smaller yet positive trends were seen in Hungary (0.49%), Romania (1.02%), Slovenia (1.14%), and the Netherlands (1.98%).
Looking ahead, key trends to watch include France maintaining its dominant position but facing potential policy and economic shifts that could impact production levels. In Eastern Europe, countries like Ukraine and Slovakia may continue their growth trajectory. Western European countries such as Belgium and the Netherlands are expected to see incremental increases. Additionally, the influence of renewable energy development, regulatory changes, and technological advancements will be crucial factors shaping the future landscape of nuclear heat gross electricity production in Europe.
