Urenco Order Book Surges 14% to EUR 21.3 Billion in 2025

Urenco Group's forward book of contracted business has surged to EUR 21.3 billion, the equivalent of roughly USD 24.5 billion, marking a roughly 14% increase compared to the prior year and underlining the growing appetite for enriched uranium as utilities and governments push to expand nuclear capacity worldwide.

The EUR 21.3 billion figure represents orders already in hand, a metric that gives a clear forward-looking picture of demand for Urenco's core enrichment services. That the number climbed by approximately 14% year-on-year is a signal the nuclear fuel supply chain is tightening, with buyers locking in contracts well ahead of delivery as new reactor builds accelerate in multiple markets.

The order book growth came alongside broader financial improvements. Urenco reported that both net profit and revenue rose in 2025 compared to 2024, though the company has not yet disclosed specific figures for those line items. Taken together, the numbers paint a picture of a business operating well inside a cycle of rising nuclear ambition globally.

Urenco occupies a critical node in that cycle. As the world's largest uranium enrichment company by installed centrifuge capacity, it supplies enriched uranium hexafluoride to utilities across Europe, the United States, and Asia. Its enrichment plants span four countries: the Netherlands, Germany, the United Kingdom, and the United States. When Urenco's order book grows at double-digit rates, it reflects not just its own commercial success but the broader state of nuclear fuel procurement across the entire industry.

For those tracking the fuel cycle, a 14% single-year jump in contracted business is the kind of number that tends to reverberate. Utilities securing enrichment contracts years in advance are making a clear statement about their long-term commitment to nuclear generation, and Urenco's swelling order book is the documentary evidence of that commitment.
