China's operable nuclear power capacity reached over 52,000 megawatts electrical in 2022. In the same year, China had the third-largest operable nuclear power capacity worldwide after the United States and France. Energy generation by nuclear sources in China started in 1991 and has increased significantly since then. Nonetheless, nuclear energy represents the smallest share of primary energy consumption in China.
Operable nuclear power capacity in China expressed as reference unit power from 1990 to 2022*
(in megawatts electrical)
*The reference unit power is the maximum electrical power that could be maintained continuously by an operative nuclear facility under reference ambient conditions. This value is measured deducting the energy lost in any unit auxiliaries and transformers.
