In 2023, Ukrainian nuclear power plants produced a total of more than 52 billion kWh and occupied almost 50% of the structure of electricity production in the country. This was reported by the press service of Energoatom, reports ExPro.

According to ExPro calculations, electricity production at nuclear power plants in Ukraine in 2023 decreased by 16% compared to 2022, which is due to the shutdown of the temporarily occupied Zaporizhzhya NPP in Energodar. In 2022, the share of nuclear power plants in the generation structure was 54%. As ExPro knows, in 2023 the most electricity was produced at the South Ukrainian NPP, more than 20 billion kWh.
