Britain is moving toward major nuclear power commitments after years of delays,
as government officials acknowledge they can no longer postpone critical energy
infrastructure decisions. The U.K. Treasury has exhausted options for delaying
nuclear power choices, Politico reported this week, citing sources within
Whitehall and the nuclear industry. The urgency stems from Britain's aging
nuclear infrastructure, where five power plants currently supply 15% of the
country's total energy needs but face shutdown by 2030. This timeline has
created significant pressure on policymakers to secure replacement capacity or
risk substantial gaps in the nation's electricity supply.
