IEA report describes nuclear growth and need for grid flexibility
The Paris-based International Energy Agency released its annual report on global electricity systems and markets on February 6, showing the output of nuclear energy at record levels in 2025. According to Electricity 2026, nuclear energy together with renewable energy sources (mainly solar) will generate about half of all global electricity by 2030, up from 42 percent today.
NASA is working with the Department of Energy and industry to design and build a fission surface power system that will provide 40 kilowatts of power – enough to continuously run 30 households for 10 years. A future lunar demonstration will pave the way for applications on Earth and even base camps on the Moon and Mars.
