Wylfa

“I never count my chickens but new nuclear at Wylfa is something I have campaigned on tirelessly and the comments from the PM this week are both positive and absolutely true.
 
“Wylfa is a brilliant site for nuclear and I will continue to make that case and to persuade the government to get on and give the greenlight.
 
“Such a decision would be a game changing investment on Ynys Môn and bring the high-paid jobs we need and I have pushed for since I was elected.
 
“As a country we need new nuclear power to meet our net zero ambitions and for much-needed energy security so we are not at the mercy of people like Putin.”

New nuclear is the most reliable, clean, low carbon and consistent energy generating technology currently available and Wylfa is a key UK site with potential for both large and small reactors which would generate more than 9,000 construction jobs and 900 steady-state careers.  I am working wit
