Nuclear Stays in U.S. Power Mix as 489 Projects Planned Globally
JOHANNESBURG--July 5, 2012--Written by Richard Finlayson, Senior International Editor for Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Nuclear power will maintain a growth of 10% through 2035, even with natural gas-fed projects and renewable energy sources competing for larger stakes in the U.S energy mix. In its Annual Energy Outlook 2012 the Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimated that 15,800 megawatts (MW) of new nuclear capacity will be added between 2010 and 2035 from a mix of new plants and refurbished operating plants. But the nuclear contribution to the total energy mix will be reduced from 20% in 2010 to 18% by 2035.
