(asked on 13th March 2026) - View Source
Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, when he last carried out an assessment of the future potential of nuclear power sites in Scotland.
This question was answered on 23rd March 2026
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.
The Government is committed to new nuclear including the potential of sites in Scotland, however we recognise the current Scottish Government's block on this at present.
