Answered by
Baroness Curran
Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero)
Great British Energy – Nuclear (GBE-N) is continuing to drive forward Gwyndod, the UK’s first small modular reactor (SMR) project.
GBE-N and Rolls-Royce SMR entered contract earlier this year and are now undertaking design work to progress the Gwyndod SMR project on Anglesey in North Wales.
The project, which represents the most significant industrial investment in North Wales for a generation, will support up to 3,000 skilled jobs on site at peak construction, with thousands more across the supply chain.
