In 2023, France led European nuclear heat gross inland consumption with 1.1971 million GWh, despite a 0.89% decline. Ukraine and Germany followed, but both exhibited notable reductions of 1.34% and 2.66%, respectively. Conversely, Belgium saw a significant increase of 4.85%, while Spain, the Czech Republic, and Bulgaria showed modest growth. Finland, Hungary, and Slovakia had minor improvements, whereas Sweden and the United Kingdom continued declining. Romania and Slovenia experienced slight increases, while the Netherlands recorded a 2.46% rise despite its lower base.
Future trends include potential growth in Eastern European countries as they invest more in nuclear energy. Western Europe may face declines due to renewable energy transitions and nuclear phase-out policies, particularly in Germany and the United Kingdom. Monitoring regulatory changes and technology advancements is vital for understanding long-term shifts in nuclear heat consumption.
