The forecast for the UK's nuclear heat gross inland consumption shows a steady decline from 2024 to 2028, starting at 12.1 million tonnes of oil equivalent in 2024 and decreasing to 10.98 by 2028. This represents a year-on-year decrease of approximately 2.40% in 2025, 2.37% in 2026, 2.43% in 2027, and 2.40% by 2028. Considering the data from 2023, which stood slightly above 12.1, the five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) reflects a consistent decrease.

Future trends to watch for:

Ongoing policy changes promoting renewable energy sources could further impact nuclear consumption.
Technological advancements in the nuclear sector may influence these forecasts.
Infrastructure investments can alter future energy consumption patterns.
