Energy Security and Net Zero Committee: Revisiting the nuclear roadmap

Committee hears from witnesses

The Energy Security and Net Zero Committee is conducting oral evidence sessions to review and reassess the UK's nuclear energy roadmap. This scrutiny examines the government's nuclear strategy, including planned new builds, timelines, and investment, as the Committee evaluates whether current policies remain fit for purpose in meeting both energy security and net-zero carbon targets.

Nuclear power is central to the UK's plans to decarbonise electricity supply and achieve energy independence while managing cost-of-living pressures. This parliamentary review will influence billions in infrastructure investment and determine whether nuclear expansion targets are realistic, affecting energy bills, industrial competitiveness, and the credibility of net-zero commitments.
