Energy Security and Net Zero Committee: Revisiting the nuclear roadmap

Committee hears from witnesses

The Energy Security and Net Zero Committee will take oral evidence on a revisiting of the UK's nuclear roadmap. This inquiry examines the government's strategic direction on nuclear power as part of meeting net-zero emissions targets and delivering energy security, likely assessing progress, timescales, funding, and policy changes since the previous roadmap was established.

Nuclear power is central to the UK's strategy for decarbonising energy and reducing reliance on fossil fuels while meeting climate commitments. The outcome will influence government energy policy, investment decisions, and the feasibility of reaching net-zero by 2050, affecting energy bills, industrial competitiveness, and employment in the energy sector.
