World Nuclear News: Achieving 1000 GWe of New Capacity by 2050

Pasinex Resources Limited (CSE:PSE,FSE:PNX) is pleased to provide an article for your review published by World Nuclear News entitled “Achieving 1000 GWe of New Capacity by 2050”.
The nuclear industry can achieve the momentum required to create an additional 1000 GWe of new capacity by 2050, Agneta Rising, director general of the World Nuclear Association, said yesterday. This target is essential, she said, if the world is to ensure the International Energy Agency’s 2 Degree Scenario on climate change.
Opening the World Nuclear Association’s 41st Annual Symposium in London, Rising referred to the IEA’s annual report, Energy Technology Perspectives 2016, which notes that connections of new nuclear power units doubled in 2015 to ten new reactors each year compared with five in 2014 and similar numbers in previous years.
Only nuclear power can ensure the clean, affordable and reliable electricity needed to meet increasing global energy demand whilst ensuring climate goals can also be achieved, Rising said.
She proposed the following schedule: 50 GWe of new capacity in 2016-2020, 125 GWe in 2021-2025 and 825 GWe in 2026-2050. That means a yearly connection rate of 10 GWe, 25 GWe and 33 GWe, respectively.
