Great British Energy – Nuclear has announced that the new nuclear plant next to the Wylfa site on Anglesey will be called Gwyndod Power Station. The name was chosen after hundreds of local suggestions and a panel involving young people from Ynys Môn.
The panel was chaired by Ynys Môn MP Llinos Medi and Secretary of State for Wales Jo Stevens. The Government said the name reflected the identity and heritage of the island, with Gwyndod derived from the old name for the region’s dialect, Gwyndodeg.
Stevens said the UK Government was bringing nuclear back to Ynys Môn and referred to investment of more than £2.5 billion in the site. Great British Energy – Nuclear said the project was intended to support skilled jobs and provide clean, reliable power for the future.
