Hartlepool Power Station: Nuclear Reactors
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, whether his Department has plans to build a new nuclear reactor on the Hartlepool nuclear power station site.
Answered by Michael Shanks
A new National Policy Statement will be developed to provide the planning framework for nuclear power beyond 2025. We believe the sites identified in the current National Policy Statement (EN6), including the privately owned Hartlepool site, are likely to retain inherent positive attributes that make them attractive for consideration for development.
