Global Nuclear Capacity

Global nuclear generating capacity is projected to rise from 395 GW this year to 494 GW by 2035, according to new analysis from GlobalData. The increase has been credited to a surge to the rollout of small modular reactors (SMRs), which are expected to go mainstream in the 2030s, as well as tighter energy‑security policies and intensifying net zero commitments. In GlobalData’s latest report on the nuclear power market, it predicts that nuclear output will climb from 2,616 TWh in 2024 to 3,410 TWh by 2035 – a compound annual growth rate of roughly 2%. Nuclear currently supplies around 9% of global electricity, but the mix is shifting fast as countries weigh grid reliability against decarbonisation targets.
