The government has allocated £65bn in capital spending to clean energy, climate and nature including nuclear across 2025-26 to 2029-30. This is an average of £16bn a year, mainly across the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, Department for Transport, and the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs.
