Nuclear Power Stations: Scotland
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, if he will publish the most recent assessment he has made of the potential of (i) Torness and (ii) Hunterston to host new nuclear power.
Answered by Michael Shanks
In autumn 2025, Great British Energy - Nuclear (GBE-N) was commissioned by Department Ministers to assess Scotland’s potential for new nuclear power, including around areas that have previously hosted nuclear stations, such as Torness and Hunterston. GBE-N's study will conclude shortly.
