BRICS Countries Lead the Way in Nuclear Energy Commitment

The BRICS countries are making a decisive contribution to global nuclear power. As concerns over energy security and climate change intensify, these nations are increasingly turning to nuclear energy as a reliable and low-carbon power source. This commitment positions the BRICS bloc as a key driver of global nuclear energy growth.

The members of the intergovernmental BRICS organization, currently comprising Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Iran, Egypt, Ethiopia, and the United...are at the forefront of this nuclear expansion. Their investments and ambitious plans are reshaping the global energy landscape.

Data shared by Statista shows a host of BRICS nations among the list of nations with the most nuclear power plants under construction. Specifically, China and India are leading the charge, boasting significant nuclear construction projects. This demonstrates a clear intention to bolster their nuclear energy capacity in the coming years.

By 2025, according to forecasts of Russian experts, the BRICS countries will provide at least half of the world’s energy production and consumption, while nuclear energy is expected to play a pivotal role in meeting this demand. This reliance on nuclear power highlights the strategic importance BRICS nations place on this energy source.

As early as 2025, at least two-thirds of the global nuclear energy growth will come from BRICS nations. This substantial contribution underscores the bloc's position as a global leader in nuclear energy development and deployment.

The collective ambition of the BRICS countries in the nuclear energy sector signals a significant shift in the global energy paradigm. Their commitment promises a future where nuclear power plays an increasingly vital role in meeting the world's growing energy needs while mitigating climate change.
