In the face of the energy crisis, nuclear power facilities will be the first to gain from a speedier planning method.


A fast-track planning mechanism will favor nuclear power plants and offshore wind farms in the fight against the energy crisis.

Greg Clark, the Levelling Up secretary, yesterday announced ideas for accelerating the evaluation of purported “nationally important infrastructure.”

The action aims to shorten the approval process for large projects that have previously been plagued by years-long delays.

It will cover significant national infrastructure projects including nuclear power plants, major thoroughfares, brand-new airport runways, and huge offshore wind farms.

Mr. Clark stated: “Things need to be done more rapidly or prices of large infrastructure projects will grow, especially in this period of rising inflation.

A fast-track planning mechanism will favor offshore wind projects and nuclear power plants as it works to address the energy problem.

“These improvements will speed up the planning process, which sometimes proceeds too slowly, to help deliver new infrastructure more rapidly.”

According to sources, the plans might shorten the approval process for a large offshore wind farm from up to four years to just one.

The public’s ability to object to new infrastructure projects, which are currently subject to a specific planning procedure, will not be impacted by the new approach.

However, sources said that in order to save expenses and provide advantages more quickly, the current six-stage procedure will be sped up.

Greg Clark, the Levelling Up secretary, yesterday announced ideas for accelerating the evaluation of purported “nationally important infrastructure.”

To lessen dependency on imported energy, Boris Johnson has set a goal of approving the building of one new nuclear power plant year throughout this decade.

By tomorrow, ministers aim to approve the Sizewell C reactor in Suffolk in time for the prime minister’s planned big address on energy.

The Prime Minister said yesterday that the public “wants to know that we are going to have a long-term British energy security policy” in his remarks to media.

And we are, he said. More nuclear is being added. Later this week, you’re going to learn more about it. Additionally, we are installing a ton of wind power.
