Why the next wave of electricity demand is a strategic issue for the nuclear industry
Electricity demand is entering a new phase. Not a gradual increase, not a cyclical rebound, but a structural shift driven by the rapid expansion of data centres and artificial intelligence workloads. For the nuclear industry, this evolution is not peripheral. It goes to the heart of how future capacity is planned, financed, regulated and integrated […
Why nuclear strategy decisions made today will define the next 20 years
In nuclear energy, timing is not a side consideration. It is the backbone of the deployment strategy. Decisions made today regarding technologies, industrial partnerships, supply chains, workforce development, and delivery models will shape energy systems well into the 2040s and beyond. Nuclear assets are designed today to operate for at least 60 years. Once
Nuclear’s role in the hydrogen economy
Hydrogen is rapidly moving to the center of Europe’s decarbonization strategy. It is seen as the missing piece for decarbonizing “hard-to-abate” sectors such as steel, cement, fertilizer, refining, and heavy transport. The European Commission’s Hydrogen Strategy envisions 40 GW of electrolysis capacity by 2030 and a mature market by 2050. Despite its
How strategic innovation in nuclear can deliver climate and energy resilience
Achieving climate neutrality while securing stable energy access is one of the most significant industrial challenges of our time. As governments confront volatile fuel markets and soaring electricity demand, nuclear energy is being redefined—not as legacy infrastructure, but as a core engine of innovation. Next-generation nuclear technologies, including s
Why Europe must rethink nuclear deployment at scale
Europe’s ambition to reach net zero by 2050 hinges on one unavoidable reality: the continent needs more clean, dispatchable, and secure electricity. Nuclear power is central to meeting this need — but only if we stop treating it as a special case or future option, and start embedding it within long-term infrastructure and industrial planning. […]
The new nuclear playbook: what it takes to succeed in 2025 and beyond
The global energy sector is undergoing its most dramatic transformation in decades. As countries race to meet climate goals, secure energy independence, and upgrade outdated infrastructure, nuclear energy has re-emerged as a central pillar of the transition. For decades, nuclear power’s role was debated in boardrooms and parliaments. Today, it’s being op
