Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what discussions she has had with the Scottish Government on the role of nuclear energy in Scotland's future energy mix.

Nuclear has an important role to play in a secure and decarbonised electricity system, providing firm baseload capacity alongside renewables and other low-carbon technologies.

Great British Energy - Nuclear’s study of Scotland's potential for new nuclear, published on 30 June, indicates that Scotland has land areas with high potential for new nuclear development in the future.

New nuclear projects can deliver billions of pounds of investment and thousands of high-quality jobs to a region. UK Ministers remain open to discussions with the Scottish Government on deploying new nuclear technologies in Scotland.
