Operating Results of Nuclear Power Plants

Performance indicators of power plants allow the evaluation of the operating results of the plant. Standardised definitions, collection and calculation directives form the basis for the determination of indicators concerning availability and utilisation. They are defined in the VGB guideline "Fundamentals and systematics of availability determination for Thermal Power Plants".

In 2009 the 17 German nuclear power plants generated a total of 135 billion kWh. This is about half of the base load needed in Germany. The Isar 2 plant (PWR) achieved the top position in power generation with 12.13 billion kWh. Here you find the availability data of nuclear power plants in 2009.
