    Global Nuclear Pipeline Reaches 77 Reactors with 57 Under Construction in Asia

    Question

    Global Nuclear Pipeline Reaches 77 Reactors with 57 Under Construction in Asia

    Direct answer

    Long-term energy modeling indicates that global electricity demand will grow 60% by 2045. Nuclear capacity additions remain heavily skewed geographically, with 57 of the 77 reactors currently under construction situated across Asia. In contrast, the Americas account for only 3 active reactor builds. This divergence highlights a structural disparity in baseload generation buildout between Asian power markets and Western grids seeking clean baseload power for industrial and data center loads.
