Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what assessment he has made of the potential economic and social merits of a nuclear development at Oldbury to Thornbury and Yate constituency.

Great British Energy – Nuclear (GBE-N) owns the potential new nuclear site at Oldbury-on-Severn.

As a site which has previously hosted a nuclear power station, Oldbury has great potential for new nuclear, and GBE-N will continue early work to evaluate the site, to ensure it is ready for future deployment. This includes the potential to support any privately-led projects that might be developed by the nuclear industry.
