The International Energy Agency (IEA) in its latest report, Electricity 2024, dedicates a significant amount of space to nuclear power – a departure from its previous studies which treated it as peripheral. In its press release on the new report, IEA says the increase in electricity generation from renewables and nuclear "appears to be pushing the power sector's emissions into structural decline". Over the next three years, low-emissions generation is set to rise at twice the annual growth rate between 2018 and 2023. Global emissions from electricity generation are expected to decrease by 2.4% in 2024, followed by smaller declines in 2025 and 2026.

South Korea’s Ministry of Trade, Industry & Energy (MOTIE) and Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power (KHNP) at a “Nuclear Power Plant Equipment Export Integrated Briefing” at the Kepco Art Centre in Seoul presented strategies to boost nuclear exports. More than 200 domestic nuclear power plant equipment and component companies participated in the briefing. The meeting heard that procurement for the El Dabaa project in Egypt will begin in October and for the tritium removal facility project in Romania in November. This will unlock a total of 104 items with a value of KRW800bn ($603.77m) in nuclear power plant equipment exports.
