Boris Johnson says Wylfa nuclear plant 'is going to happen'

Boris Johnson has said that a nuclear power station on Anglesey "is going to happen". He was in north Wales ahead of council elections which take place on Thursday, May 5. You can read all our elections content here.

His government has renewed its promise to deliver the power station after a previous plan for a new nuclear power station at Wylfa collapsed in 2020. Mr Johnson vowed to "get it going as fast as possible". The UK Government has published a strategy for new nuclear power stations and giant off-shore wind farms.

In April the British Energy Security Strategy set out how Britain will accelerate the deployment of wind, new nuclear, solar and hydrogen energy which could see 95% of electricity being low carbon by 2030. You can see the detail of how that will impact Wales here.
