The benefits of increasing nuclear to 150 GW in Europe: it reduces emissions, secures supply and lowers the price

A recent report by Compass Lexecon concludes that nuclear power demonstrates how it can help ensure a decarbonised, credible, safe and cost-effective energy mix
Having more nuclear power in Europe would lead to a faster reduction in CO₂ emissions, lower energy system costs in the long term, a reduction in energy imports (gas, hydrogen) and greater security of supply. These are the conclusions of the updated report “Pathways to 2050 – the role of nuclear in a low-carbon Europe” carried out by Compass Lexecon on behalf of nucleareurope, which highlights how, for example, 150 GW of installed nuclear capacity in the EU by 2050:
