Nuclear power accounted for just below one percent of total electricity generation in Africa in 2023. This figure is expected to almost triple by 2030, but to decrease between 2040 and 2050 in both a low and high case scenario.
Nuclear share of electricity generation in Africa in 2023 with forecast until 2050, by scenario
According to the source, the low case scenario assumes that current market, technology, and resource trends will continue; few additional changes in laws, policies, and regulations concerning nuclear power will be made. No assumptions concerning targets for nuclear power are made.
The high case scenario takes into account existing policies as well as publicized intentions of individual countries regarding expansion of nuclear power use. While more ambitious, the high case projections are still plausible and technically feasible.
