Slovakia produces more than 85% of its electricity from nuclear energy.

Error detected

The claim states 'more than 85% of electricity from nuclear energy' when the actual nuclear share was 63% in 2023.

The 85% figure actually refers to total low-carbon electricity (nuclear + hydro + renewables), not nuclear alone.

Omissions

• The MEP conflated 'low-carbon electricity' (85% in 2023) with 'nuclear electricity' (63% in 2023). Slovakia's clean energy mix includes hydroelectric (14%) and other renewables alongside nuclear.
• Data cited is from 2023, which was the most recent year available at the time of the claim (March 2026).
