Urenco Almelo Enrichment Plant (Netherlands)

Operated by Urenco GroupNL · Overijsselprocessing

Urenco's primary enrichment facility at Almelo, Overijssel, Netherlands. Capacity ~5,000 tSW/year (tonnes of Separative Work per year). Urenco Netherlands is owned equally by Urenco Group (UK-NL-DE JV). As of 2025, Urenco announced plans to double expansion at Almelo — adding ~1.5M additional SWU capacity in two stages (Stage 1 operational from 2027, Stage 2 from 2030). This expansion is driven by Western utility demand for non-Russian enrichment following the US Prohibiting Russian Uranium Imports Act (May 2024) and similar European diversification mandates. Almelo is the original Urenco centrifuge technology development site (URENCO Group founded here in 1970 from the UK-NL-DE Treaty of Almelo).
