We do not have a specific target for the amount of nuclear we will need in 2030 to meet our electricity demand. As set out in the Energy White Paper (EWP) and the Prime Minister’s Ten Point Plan, the government believes in the importance of a diverse mix of energy sources to support a low carbon, secure and affordable electricity system. This includes nuclear and recognises the important role which can be played by both large and small scale reactors.
