On 11 June, the British Government delivered its Spending Review for 2025 (Spending Review). Nuclear power featured as one of the cornerstone spending areas, with Chancellor Rachel Reeves describing the £30 billion in nuclear investments as a “commitment to our nuclear-powered future”. Following this, 23 June saw the publication of the UK’s Modern Industrial Strategy and five of eight planned Industrial Sector Plans (including for the Clean Energy industry). These publications reiterate the Government’s ambition to “build on [the UK’s] status as a leading nuclear nation”. In this Insight, Orrick’s market-leading Nuclear Power experts discuss these announcements and what they indicate for Britain’s nuclear power sector going forward.
