Nuclear Power Stations: Bradwell-on-Sea
To ask Her Majesty's Government what progress has been made on plans for the construction of a new nuclear power-generating facility at Bradwell-on-Sea.

I understand the developer is focussing on prioritising technical aspects with associated risks including impact of Covid-19 on their project, whilst pausing other areas of work including detailed preparations for Development Consent Order application, with the aim of re-engaging and sequencing their overall development programme in the future.

This is a commercial decision for the developer, new nuclear projects are developer led, and it is not a matter for the Government.

Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero)
