Electricity produced from nuclear power in Great Britain decreased over this period from 78 terawatt hours in 2000 to 51 terawatt hours in 2019. Compared to other energy sources, the production of nuclear energy has seen only minor fluctuations. However, the future of nuclear power is still uncertain as a majority of plants will reach the end of their life cycle in the 2020s and proposals for new projects have mainly fallen through. Additionally, continued concerns over adequate radioactive waste disposals strengthen arguments for investments in alternative resources like wind farms.
