Nuclear Power Stations: Cumbria

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, how many developers have expressed an interest in the development of new nuclear power at Moorside since its selection as a site for new nuclear power generation in 2009.

Answer

Moorside is a candidate for new nuclear and one of a number of potential sites that could host civil nuclear projects. The specific number of enquiries is currently not known, since the NDA, as owners of the Moorside site and other land, continue to engage any new nuclear vendor who has enquiries about their land.
