| Description: | The New Nuclear Programme aims to ensure that the framework is in place to enable operators to build and operate new nuclear power stations in England and Wales from the earliest possible date. There are four main elements to the programme: 1. Delivering the "facilitative actions" to which Government committed in the 2008 Nuclear White Paper. 2. Ensuring that all necessary actions are taken to enable the construction of the first new nuclear power station at Hinkley Point C, by working with and through others (within DECC and externally) to help secure for example generic design approval, planning permission, CfD negotiation, state aid, helping current investors secure additional equity and direct negotiation of the arrangements for decommissioning and waste management. 3. Creating the environment in which nuclear operators can finance and successfully deliver a significant nuclear programme in the UK of around 16GW by 2030. 4. Creating the environment in which the UK supply chain can compete effectively to secure a significant proportion of the new build work in the UK and export into the world nuclear market. |
