Britain to build new nuclear power station

Monday 29 Jan 2024

The government is currently considering plans to build a nuclear power station with the capacity to power as many as six million homes.

This is part of a new strategy unveiled by the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero.

The new “nuclear roadmap” includes plans to build a new power station as big as Hinkley C and Sizewell C.

The UK aims to increase nuclear power generation by up to four times to 24GW by 2050, enough to provide a quarter of the UK’s electricity needs.
