Recommendation 14
14
Paragraph: 73
New nuclear development at Wylfa remains uncertain without further concrete government commitment.
Recommendation
While we welcome what feels like small steps in the right direction towards new nuclear at Wylfa, we do still question how much further down the path we are now to seeing a successful development than we were when Hitachi withdrew from the site. There will remain risks associated with both the UK and Welsh Governments’ political commitment to nuclear power and we believe the UK Government needs 28 Nuclear energy in Wales to make further commitments within this Parliament. Our overarching view is that new nuclear at Wylfa is not certain despite progress being made and more concrete commitment is required to deliver a project at Wylfa.
