The UK government, led by Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, is set to reform planning rules to facilitate the construction of nuclear reactors, including small modular reactors (SMRs). These reforms aim to boost energy affordability, create thousands of jobs, and reduce the country's dependency on volatile global energy markets. With a commitment to a clean energy mission, officials believe streamlined regulatory processes will attract investment and enable quicker development, ultimately securing a low-carbon, energy-independent future for Britain.
This country hasn't built a nuclear power station in decades. We've been let down and left behind.
Build, build, build - that is what Britain's clean energy mission is all about.
A more streamlined planning system will give certainty to investors, the supply chain and communities.
We need to make Britain the best possible place to build new nuclear, both large-scale and SMRs.
