Wylfa Power Station

Asked by Aphra BrandrethConservativeDepartment for Energy Security and Net ZeroTabled Answered 12 September 2024UIN 4502

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, whether it remains his Department's policy that Wylfa is the preferred site for a large-scale nuclear development.

Answered by Michael Shanks

Nuclear can play an important role in helping to achieve energy security and clean power while securing thousands of skilled jobs. As a site which has previously hosted a nuclear power station, and is now owned by Great British Nuclear, we want Wylfa to play an important role in new nuclear in the UK, and we will set out our plans for the site in due course.
