Latina nuclear power plant — Italy

Latina nuclear power plant is a retired nuclear power station in Latina, Italy. Its current lifecycle status is “Retired” — so it is not yet, or no longer, generating at full output. It ranks #122 of 489 Italy power plants by installed capacity. As a non-combustion source, it has no direct CO₂ emissions from generation. In context, nuclear supplies about 0.0% of Italy's electricity; the national grid averages 285 gCO₂/kWh (48.8% low-carbon) (2025).

In context: how this plant compares

At 160 MW, Latina nuclear power plant is below the median nuclear plant in Italy (270 MW). Technically it is described as gas-cooled reactor. Its lifecycle status is Retired; it no longer generates electricity. Nuclear plants split uranium to raise steam with no direct CO₂; they run as steady baseload with very high capacity factors and the longest operating lifetimes of any thermal plant.
