PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
(19 May 2026)

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what assessment he has made of the potential economic and social merits of a nuclear development at Oldbury to Thornbury and Yate constituency.

Asked by:
Claire Young (Liberal Democrat)

Great British Energy – Nuclear (GBE-N) owns the potential new nuclear site at Oldbury-on-Severn.

As a site which has previously hosted a nuclear power station, Oldbury has great potential for new nuclear, and GBE-N will continue early work to evaluate the site, to ensure it is ready for future deployment. This includes the potential to support any privately-led projects that might be developed by the nuclear industry.
