About This Dataset
The dataset contains historical information on the contribution of nuclear power to total electricity generation. Each record includes the geographic entity (country or regional group), an ISO country code when available, the year of observation, and the percentage of total electricity generation attributed to nuclear energy. The dataset supports analysis of nuclear energy adoption trends and energy mix transitions globally.
Data Quality
The dataset structure is consistent with numeric percentage values representing nuclear electricity share. The Code column contains missing values for regional aggregates such as ASEAN or other grouped entities. Numeric values are consistently formatted, and there are no apparent structural inconsistencies.
Use Cases
Energy policy analysis, nuclear energy adoption studies, comparison of national energy mixes, forecasting electricity generation trends, sustainability and decarbonization research, and academic research on global energy transitions.
Limitations
The dataset only contains percentage share values and does not include absolute electricity generation values, installed capacity, or operational reactor counts. Some entries represent regional groups rather than individual countries, and ISO codes are missing for those aggregated regions.
Methodology
The data was likely compiled from national electricity generation statistics and international energy organizations. Nuclear generation values were aggregated and converted into percentage shares of total electricity generation for each country or region annually.
