Opportunities for the Dutch Industry in the Construction of New Nuclear Power Plants

17 March 2025

Research by NRG PALLAS shows that the Dutch industry could benefit from 33% to 43% of the construction and development activities for new nuclear power plants in the Netherlands.
In monetary terms, this could amount to an estimated €8 to €10 billion for the largest type of reactor.

Opportunities for the Dutch industry have potentially increased, as both the Dutch government and Parliament have now expressed their support for the realization of four new nuclear power plants.
Nuclear projects of this scale present significant opportunities for both the Dutch nuclear sector and the broader Dutch supply chain.
They can deliver services and products to future Dutch nuclear power plants and export them to countries with similar new-build plans.
This strong potential contributes positively to the investment climate in and around the nuclear sector.

The report presents concrete recommendations to improve market access:

  1. Establish a central point of contact from the industry.

  2. Set up a Fit for Nuclear organization: a comprehensive development program aimed at elevating nuclear knowledge within Dutch companies so they can qualify for project tenders (in collaboration with Government and Industry).

  3. Create a Training Center for technical skills, particularly for on-site installation work (in collaboration with educational institutions, industry, and government).

  4. Develop a list of existing and potential Dutch suppliers.
