Description
Description | China plans to nearly double its nuclear power generation capacity by 2040, aiming to reach 200 gigawatts (GW) of nuclear power plant capacity. The country is pushing for the construction of new nuclear power plants over the next 10 years, with about half of the 61 nuclear power plants currently under construction worldwide being built in China. This expansion is part of China's strategy to reduce dependence on intermittent renewable energy sources and meet increasing energy demand driven by advanced technologies such as electric vehicles and artificial intelligence. |
