Wylfa Power Station

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, pursuant to the Answer of 29 January 2025 to Question 25446 on Wylfa Power Station, whether the Wylfa nuclear power station development will be classified as public sector.

Answered by Michael Shanks

Great British Nuclear (GBN) purchased the Wylfa site in June 2024, and it is recorded as an asset on the Government’s balance sheet. As a site with a history of hosting a nuclear power station, the government is working closely with GBN to assess options for new nuclear at Wylfa. No decisions have been taken yet on any specific projects or technologies to be deployed.
