Wylfa in Wales

Posted: 14th November 2025

Wylfa on Anglesey is expected to be the site for a new nuclear power

station, with the decision to be confirmed on Thursday, BBC Wales has been
told. It is thought that the UK government will give the go-ahead for a
small modular reactor (SMR). Ministers have been weighing up whether to
choose Anglesey or Oldbury, in Gloucestershire, after signing a £2.5bn
partnership with Rolls Royce to build it earlier this year. It is hoped the
plant will provide up to 900 full-time jobs and several thousand more
during construction. The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero has
been asked to comment. It is not known how many small reactors will be
built at Wylfa, but the site is believed to be capable of accommodating
more than one.
