Thailand is intensifying its focus on low-carbon electricity as the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT) and Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power (KHNP) convened the KHNP–EGAT SMR Technical Seminar in Bangkok.
The aviation sector, the fastest-growing contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions, is confronting a structural decarbonization challenge. Sustainable aviation fuels now account for less than one percent of global jet fuel demand, yet the UK has set a target of 22 percent SAF use by 2040.
Russia’s cumulative renewable power capacity is forecast to nearly double over the next decade, rising from 9.8GW in 2025 to 18.4GW by 2035, according to GlobalData projections.
Fortum’s framework agreement with Helsinki-based Steady Energy highlights how established nuclear operators are positioning themselves to support heat-focused small modular reactors, with operational credibility and regulatory confidence becoming as critical as reactor design.
China’s first commercial land based small modular reactor moved closer to grid operation in December after the ACP100 demonstration project at Changjiang in Hainan completed its non nuclear turbine steam run on the first attempt, according to China National Nuclear Corporation.
China Nuclear Power Corporation (CNNC) announced that Unit 2 of the Zhangzhou nuclear power plant in Fujian province has entered commercial operation, marking a key milestone in the country’s nuclear expansion.
In 2025, Finland’s Loviisa Nuclear Power Plant delivered 7.9 terawatt-hours of electricity, supplying roughly 10 percent of the nation’s total consumption.
Sweden’s renewed nuclear ambitions are shifting from policy to project finance as Videberg Kraft, the company tasked with developing new reactors on the Värö Peninsula, formally applies for state aid under a framework adopted earlier this year.
Global electricity demand projections are being recalibrated as artificial intelligence and hyperscale data centers move from marginal load drivers to structural forces in energy planning. According to Uranium Unlocked: The Future of AI & Global Energy Demand, a new institutional research study commissioned by Uranium.io and based on responses from more than 600 investors, this shift is already altering long-term expectations for nuclear generation and uranium procurement at a time when supply fundamentals are tightening.
