Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what effect his Department’s decision to select the Korea Electric Power Corporation as the preferred bidder to take over building the Moorside nuclear reactors has had on the date the Moorside nuclear plant is projected to be (a) completed and (b) operational.

Toshiba, rather than the Department, has selected KEPCO as their preferred bidder to buy Nugen and we will engage with the companies to understand their proposals for the Moorside project.
