UK MPs Show Support for New Nuclear Projects

The UK Government has set an ambitious target of 24 gigawatts of nuclear energy by 2050, nearly double the country's highest installed capacity to date. To achieve this goal, significant political support is required, both at the national level to drive policy and locally to support developments.

Background

The UK Government's aspiration for increased nuclear energy production has sparked a conversation about the need for political support. A recent collaboration between Cavendish Consulting and the Nuclear Industry Association has explored the stance of UK politicians on the issue.
