Wylfa Newydd

Chair of the UK Parliament’s Welsh Affairs Committee David T C Davies has accused the UK Government of a ‘lacklustre’ response to the MPs’ report on Hitachi’s suspension of work on the proposed nuclear plant on Anglesey – its Wylfa Newydd project.

MPs have called on the UK and Welsh governments to consider a range of low-carbon energy projects in north-west Wales following the suspension of work on the Wylfa Newydd nuclear power station.

Preconstruction preparation work for a proposed £12 billion nuclear power station on the Isle of Anglesey has ground to a halt now that Welsh ministers have called in the scheme. The county council had approved the scheme.

Horizon Nuclear Power has submitted a Development Consent Order (DCO) application to the Planning Inspectorate (PINS) for its nuclear power station project Wylfa Newydd.
