Data Shows Slight Increase In 2020 Nuclear Generation :: The Independent Global Nuclear News Agency

Data Shows Slight Increase In 2020 Nuclear Generation :: The Independent Global Nuclear News Agency: Nuclear power supplied 2,600 TWh of emissions-free electricity in 2020, accounting for about 10% of total global electricity generation and nearly a third of the world’s low-carbon electricity production, International Atomic Energy agency director-general Rafael Mariano Grossi said in an introductory statement to the board of governors.

This was a slight increase from 2,586 TWh in 2019. Earlier IAEA data shows the figure was 1,890 TWh in 1990.
