Since 1965, the generation of electricity from nuclear power in Europe has increased significantly. At the beginning of the reporting period, generation amounted to 20 terawatt-hours (TWh). Over the following four decades this increased to 1,110 TWh. Since 2005, nuclear generation has been gradually decreasing across the continent, and by 2018 had fallen to approximately 938 TWh.
