The Clean Growth Strategy made clear that we want a diverse electricity system that supplies our homes and businesses with secure, affordable and clean power. Our Strategy outlines a possible pathway to continue realising emission reductions from the power sector out to 2032 as well as setting out our next steps.

Concerning renewables, we have already confirmed up to £557 million for further Pot 2 Contract for Difference auctions, with the next one planned for spring 2019. With regards nuclear power, we have reiterated our ambition to deliver new nuclear power through Hinkley Point C and progress discussions with developers to secure a competitive price for future projects.
