Slight increase in nuclear power production in 2023

In 2023, 13 EU countries generated 619,601 gigawatt hours (GWh) of electricity from nuclear power, an increase of 1.7% compared to 2022. The increase was largely attributed to France completing maintenance of its nuclear reactors. France accounted for 54.6% of the EU’s nuclear power generation, followed by Spain and Sweden. Notably, Germany terminated its nuclear production completely in April 2023 after generating 7,216 GWh at the beginning of the year.
