The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, whether the Government plans to subsidise the building of small modular reactors.
Answered by Michael Shanks
Great British Nuclear (GBN) is driving forward its SMR Technology Selection Process for UK deployment. This is a live, ongoing procurement based on fairness and transparency, and it is important GBN can deliver value for the British taxpayer.
Funding and financing arrangements for SMRs remain under consideration, with no decisions taken yet.
