Spain’s eight nuclear units produced 17.55 percent of the country’s electricity in 2009, down from 18.29 percent in 2008, Spanish industry group Foro Nuclear said yesterday.
The decrease was due to nearly all of Spain's nuclear units having refueling outages during 2009, Foro Nuclear said. Some units had extended outages because of maintenance or upgrade work.
In 2009, nuclear’s share of Spain’s installed generating capacity was about 8.14 percent.
