The Government is developing a new nuclear National Policy Statement (NPS), which will set planning policy for deploying new nuclear power stations beyond 2025 and support the UK in meeting the ambition of reaching up to 24GW of nuclear energy by 2050. As a first step towards developing the new nuclear NPS, later this year we intend to consult on how new nuclear developments could be sited in future prior to consulting on a draft NPS.
