Wylfa Power Station

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, when he plans to publish plans for the future of the Wylfa nuclear site.

Answered by Michael Shanks

Great British Nuclear (GBN) acquired the sites at Wylfa (in Ynys Mon / Anglesey) and Oldbury-on-Severn (Gloucestershire) in 2024.

We will work with GBN to assess options for new nuclear at Wylfa, although decisions have yet to be taken on projects and technologies to be deployed. GBN is pushing forward with its Small Modular Reactor technology selection process ahead of final decisions in the spring, and we will set out our plans in due course.
