The Civil Nuclear Roadmap, published yesterday, reconfirmed the Government’s ambition to deploy up to 24GW of nuclear power by 2050. The Roadmap sets out key timelines for deployment and government decisions as well as wider enabling policies. The Roadmap announced the Government’s intention to explore a further GW-scale project after Sizewell C and its plans to make investment decisions concerning 3-7GW every five years between 2030 and 2044.
