Nuclear at a Glance

Sector-wide signals from 2024 to mid-2026.

  • 94 operating US reactors at ~92% capacity factor, the highest of any generation type. Vogtle 3 + 4 commissioned 2023 + 2024 as the first new US large reactors since Watts Bar 2 (2016).
  • Six binding hyperscaler-nuclear PPAs signed 2023-2025: Microsoft + Constellation Crane CEC (835 MW), AWS + Vistra Comanche Peak (1,200 MW), Amazon-Talen Susquehanna (960 MW), Google + Kairos (up to 500 MW), Meta + Constellation Clinton (1.121 GW), plus AWS + X-energy 5 GW Xe-100 commitment.
  • Policy stack reset 2022-2026: IRA Section 45U PTC ($15-30 per MWh), ADVANCE Act (PL 118-67 Jul 2024), Prohibiting Russian Uranium Imports Act (PL 118-62 May 2024), NRC Part 53 final rule (Mar 2026), DOE LPO closed $1.52B Holtec Palisades + $1B Constellation Crane CEC loans.
  • Fuel cycle bottleneck visible to capital. Rosatom controls ~46% global enrichment SWU and ~70% of reactor exports outside China. Western HALEU production at kilogram scale (Centrus AC100M first kg Oct 2023) lags ~150 MT cumulative 2030-2035 demand by 5-10 years.
  • Fusion crossed scientific Q > 1 (NIF Dec 5 2022, 3.15 MJ from 2.05 MJ laser). Two binding fusion electricity-purchase PPAs now exist: Microsoft + Helion 50 MW (May 2023), Google + Commonwealth Fusion Systems 200 MW ARC Virginia (Jun 2025). ~$7.7B cumulative private funding per FIA 2024 report.

Global Nuclear Electricity Generation (TWh)

Annual world nuclear electricity generation 1990 to 2025 in TWh. The 2025 figure of approximately 2,812 TWh (gross) is preliminary; 2024 is the last fully confirmed year at approximately 2,667 TWh net (Energy Institute; IAEA PRIS approximately 2,617 TWh), a record exceeding the prior 2006 peak after a decade-long structural recovery driven by China + South Korea + UAE additions, hyperscaler PPA demand, and US fleet capacity factor sustained at approximately 92%.

Operators by Installed Nuclear Capacity

Share of approximately 387 GW of installed nuclear capacity by operator; the IAEA reports approximately 377 GW of net operable capacity at end-2024. EDF (France) is the single largest at approximately 63 GW (~16%); the rest is highly distributed across state-owned operators in Russia, South Korea, China, plus US merchant operators (Constellation, Duke, NextEra, Vistra) and Western utilities.
