Much of that has to do with the age of the nuclear fleet.
China is building reactors with significantly lower costs than the ones built in the west 40-60 years ago.
Nuclear is excellent for base loan and high power density requirements, like industrial electrification, where the cost of transmission and storage would quickly become too expensive.

According to the graph, it’s rather replacing all of them.

I’m really looking forward what 2026 will look like in such a statistic.

Of all the fucking awful news, this trend has been a consistent bright spot for me for years.
