Nuclear energy output in Europe rose 4.8% in 2024.

Europe’s nuclear energy output rose 4.8% in 2024, reversing a two-year decline, though total production remains significantly lower than in previous decades. France leads the region, generating 69% of its electricity from nuclear power, while Germany completed its phase-out. The EU still imports more than half of its energy, relying heavily on oil and gas despite gains in nuclear and renewables.
