On September 14, local time, the International Atomic Energy Agency released the latest forecast during the 70th General Conference held in Vienna, according to which the world's installed nuclear power capacity may reach up to 1,284 gigawatts by 2060, which is about 3.4 times that of 2025. The International Atomic Energy Agency said that this is the sixth year in a row that the agency has raised its global nuclear power growth forecast. According to the high growth scenario, the world's installed nuclear power capacity will reach 1,045 gigawatts by 2050. Even under a low growth scenario, it will reach 696 gigawatts by 2060, nearly double that of 2025. International Atomic Energy Agency Director General Grossi said that as global demand for electricity continues to grow, the importance of nuclear energy is rising. The agency anticipates that small modular reactors will play a greater role in future nuclear power expansion.
