I would encourage everyone to look at what's going on in the world at scale. 2025 EIA data:
Nuclear Power Growth to 2025
The International Energy Agency (IEA) predicts that global nuclear energy generation will reach an all-time high in 2025, surpassing the previous record set in 20211.
Global nuclear energy generation is projected to increase by:
1.6% in 2024
3.5% in 20251
Nuclear power plant output is expected to reach 2,915 TWh in 2025, exceeding the previous peak of 2,809 TWh in 20214.
Key Drivers of Growth
China will play a significant role, with a 9% increase in nuclear output driven by new reactor activations1.
France is expected to contribute to the increase due to the reactivation of reactors that were previously shut down for maintenance1.
Growing interest from data centers seeking stable and low-emission energy sources is also driving demand for nuclear power1.
here's a concise summary of the projected growth for solar, wind, and nuclear power through 2025:
Solar:
• U.S. solar capacity expected to grow from 95 GW in 2023 to 174 GW by 2025
• U.S. solar generation projected to increase by 75%, from 163 billion kWh in 2023 to 286 billion kWh in 2025
• Solar's share of U.S. electricity generation to rise from 4% in 2023 to 7% in 2025
Wind:
• U.S. wind generation forecast to grow by 11%, from 430 billion kWh in 2023 to 476 billion kWh in 2025
• Wind capacity expected to remain relatively flat, increasing from 149 GW in 2023 to 156 GW by the end of 2024
Nuclear:
• U.S. nuclear power generation projected to stay relatively flat, increasing slightly from 776 billion kWh in 2023 to 797 billion kWh in 2025
• Globally, nuclear energy generation expected to reach an all-time high in 2025, surpassing the previous record set in 2021
Overall, solar shows the most significant growth, followed by modest growth in wind, while nuclear remains relatively stable.
