Discussions with multiple parties that have expressed an interest in progressing with the development of new nuclear reactors at the Wylfa Newydd site in Anglesey, north Wales, have been “positive and encouraging”, the chief executive officer of Horizon Nuclear Power said in a letter to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS).
Duncan Hawthorne wrote to the BEIS to ask for a decision on planning approval for new-build at the Wylfa Newydd site to be put on hold until the outcome of the talks becomes clearer.
The UK government has now extended the process, known as development consent, until 30 April 2021.
