Private companies looking to deploy new nuclear at Oldbury will need to address skills shortages, particularly around roles such as welding. When assessing proposals for the site, how will Ministers ensure developers invest in skills so that local people can benefit from the jobs created?

We have also invested, through our clean energy technical excellence colleges in different parts of the country, to ensure that those skills will be available.
