- China’s CGN out of favour in plans about new Sizewell C large nuclear plant; possible UK Government funding back in the mix?
- Will the Wylfa nuclear project come back to life as an AP1000 site, multiple SMRs or will it stay asleep?
- It is clear that the buck will stop with the UK Government if the nuclear industry is to be revived, yet the UK Government is still aggressively backing offshore wind.
- Current nuclear plants have a hint of urgency due to short-term crisis; UK Government involvement needs better finance plans than Hinkley Point C where long term expensive power prices are locked in.
- Investors interested in nuclear power need to wait to see how this plays out, but SMR reactors could get a life.
