NewzThe International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) announced that global nuclear power capacity could more than triple by the year 2060. Rafael Grossi, the head of the UN nuclear agency, presented this projection in the IAEA's annual report delivered to the UN General Assembly on Friday.
According to the agency, this significant expansion will be driven by rising global electrification demands and the rapid growth of artificial intelligence. Specifically, the surge in energy consumption by AI-powered data centres and technology companies' demand for reliable, carbon-free power are key factors fueling this projected growth.
