In 2023, France led European gross electricity production from nuclear heat with a notable 44.82 terajoules, albeit with a slight decrease of 0.92% from the previous year. Ukraine followed at 8.91 terajoules but saw a 1.47% reduction. Sweden and Germany, each at 7.55 terajoules, experienced declines of 0.61% and 2.67%, respectively. Spain's production was stable with a 0.5% increase to 6.6 terajoules, while the UK dropped 3.49% to 6.19 terajoules. Belgium had a significant 4.38% increase to 4.03 terajoules. The Czech Republic, Finland, Bulgaria, Hungary, Slovakia, Romania, Slovenia, and the Netherlands also experienced variations ranging from a 0.42% decrease to a 2.42% increase in their nuclear electricity production.
Future trends to watch include the potential impacts of EU energy policies on nuclear power, technological advancements in reactor design, and broader geopolitical factors influencing energy stability. Countries with increasing trends, such as Belgium and the Netherlands, may continue to drive aggregate growth, whereas countries reducing their nuclear output may reallocate resources or invest in alternative energy sources.
