China tops global ranking of overall nuclear power capacity, report says

China is set to become a global leader in operational nuclear power capacity by 2030, as it is steadily expanding its nuclear energy industry, said experts and company executives.

As of the end of 2024, the country had 102 nuclear reactors in operation, under construction, or approved for construction, with a combined installed capacity of 113 million kilowatts, according to the "China Nuclear Energy Development Report 2025", which was released on Sunday in Beijing at the Spring International Forum on Sustainable Nuclear Energy Development.

This is the first time that China's overall nuclear power capacity has topped global rankings, the report said.
