As part of the biggest nuclear building programme in a generation, Labour has confirmed that Wylfa in North Wales will host first of a kind Small Modular Reactors.
The historic decision will create 3,000 jobs for the local community, invest billions into the North Wales economy and provide enough power for three million homes.
What does this mean?
The investment of over £2.5 billion is the most significant industrial investment in North Wales for a generation.
Wylfa is one of the UK’s best nuclear sites, with a proud legacy and the capacity to host a fleet of Small Modular Reactors.
Where Tory Governments failed to build, Labour is driving ahead – delivering growth, prosperity and a proud future for Wylfa.
Energy Secretary, Ed Miliband, said:
“A generation of young people across North Wales will benefit from the good jobs, homes across Britain will get clean power and we will take a big step forward in meeting our ambition to create a network of small modular reactors across the UK.
“This is the government’s clean energy mission in action – driving for energy sovereignty and abundance to take back control of our energy.”
