Nuclear Power: Scotland
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, whether the National Energy System Operator has considered the potential for new nuclear development in Scotland as part of its Strategic Spatial Energy Plan.
Answered by Michael Shanks
The National Energy System Operator has been commissioned by the UK, Scottish and Welsh governments to produce the Strategic Spatial Energy Plan (SSEP) on a three-yearly basis. As per Scottish Government policy, the first SSEP will not be able to consider the potential for new nuclear in Scotland.
