This agreement will allow India to carry out trade of nuclear fuel and technologies with other countries and significantly enhance its power generation capacity. [103] When the agreement goes through, India is expected to generate an additional 25 GW of nuclear power by 2020, bringing total estimated nuclear power generation to 45 GW. [104]
Other countries have significant amounts of nuclear power generation capacity. By far the largest nuclear electricity producers are the United States with 779,186 GWh of nuclear electricity in 2023, followed by China with 406,484 GWh. [ 2 ]
By the end of December 2020, the total number of nuclear power units in operation on the Chinese mainland reached 49, with a total installed capacity of 51 GWe, ranking third in the world in terms of installed capacity and second in the world in terms of power generation in 2020; with 16 nuclear power units under construction, the number of ...
China has already sought to become a global leader in nuclear power generation with the country planning to make these types of power plants account for 10 per cent of the its electricity ...
In 2007, after five decades of sustained and generous government financial support, nuclear power's capacity was just 3,310 MW, less than 3% of India's total power generation capacity. [ 114 ] The Integrated Energy Policy of India estimates the share of nuclear power in the total primary energy mix to be between 4% and 6.4% in various scenarios ...
Future development of nuclear power in the U.S. was to be enabled by the Energy Policy Act of 2005 and co-ordinated by the Nuclear Power 2010 Program, [155] but many license applications filed with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission for proposed new reactors have been suspended or cancelled.
India's share of nuclear power plant generation capacity is 1.2% of worldwide nuclear power production capacity, making it the 15th largest nuclear power producer. India aims to supply 9% of its electricity needs with nuclear power by 2032 and 25% by 2050. [146] [153] Jaitapur Nuclear Power Project, India's largest nuclear power plant project ...
As of 30 September 2024, India has 23 operational nuclear reactors with a installed capacity of 8180 MW (1.8 % of total installed capacity) accounting for around 3% of electricity generation. 11 more reactors with total capacity of 8700 MW are under construction.
