Nuclear power continues to be an important and proven source of reliable, clean energy, and as a result of this strong baseload provision, we have been able to move faster on a number of our key net zero objectives.<\/p>
<\/p>
A proportion of the nuclear generating capacity is likely to be unavailable at any given point due to routine inspections, maintenance, energy systems management and technical issues. A certain level of outage is to be expected and demonstrative of a very well regulated and safe technology.<\/p>
<\/p>
In 2021, nuclear power stations generated 46 TWh of electricity which was 15% of the electricity generated in the UK. The UK\u2019s Advanced Gas Cooled Reactor Fleet is ageing and has performed beyond original expectations providing extra years of generation.<\/p>
<\/p>
In addition to the AGR fleet, Sizewell B will continue operating until at least 2035 and we have set out our ambition for a new generation of nuclear power stations, providing up to 24GW of electricity by 2050. The new reactor designs are very efficient. This includes new large-scale nuclear power stations like Hinkley Point C which alone will provide 3.2GW for around 60 years, and the next generation of small and advanced reactors are expected to be more efficient.<\/p>
