About: Countries by Nuclear Power Share of Electricity 2024
Overview of the data behind this chart
Countries ranked by the percentage of their national electricity generation provided by nuclear power plants in 2024 according to the International Atomic Energy Agency and IEA data. France generates approximately 70% of its electricity from nuclear power — the highest proportion of any large economy in the world — a legacy of a strategic decision made in the 1970s following the oil crisis that transformed France into the world's most nuclear-dependent major economy and a net electricity exporter.
