The comments made by Michael Shanks, the Energy Minister, on 30 June 2026.
For decades thousands of Scots have worked in the nuclear sector and provided the country with low-carbon, reliable power.
This new report shows there is potential for new nuclear in Scotland, which could boost the country’s energy security and deliver new jobs.
We are delivering a golden age of nuclear in England and Wales from Sizewell C to small modular reactors. Sadly Scotland is missing out on the enormous economic and energy security potential.
