Great to catch up with Heather Bell - Office Director Energy Attaché - from the US Embassy, Energy Department.

We discussed all things nuclear - Great British Nuclear, green taxonomy for nuclear, the nuclear energy (financing) Bill - and the UK Governments plans for:

at least one large-scale nuclear project to reach Final Investment Decision (FID) during this Parliament and two in the next.

24GW (currently about 6.5 GW) of nuclear power by 2050 and 25% of electricity (currently around 15%).

And of course I invited Heather and the US Ambassador Jane Hartley - to visit Ynys Môn and Wylfa - the best new nuclear site in the UK!

The Energy Island programme was launched by Isle of Anglesey County Council with support from Welsh Government in 2010. Unfortunately we produce less energy on Ynys Môn and employ fewer people in the energy sector now than we did when the programme started. With the UK Government, I want to cha

New nuclear at Wylfa?

New nuclear is the most reliable, clean, low carbon and consistent energy generating technology currently available and Wylfa is a key UK site with potential for both large and small reactors which would generate more than 9,000 construction jobs and 900 steady-state careers.
