We are delighted to have signed our landmark contract with Great British Energy - Nuclear allowing work to start immediately on the delivery of three Rolls-Royce SMRs at Wylfa, on the coast of Ynys Môn (Anglesey) in North Wales. This provides contractual certainty for the first SMR fleet to be built in Europe and launches the UK’s ‘golden age of nuclear’. Chris Cholerton, Rolls-Royce SMR Chief Executive, said: “This contract unlocks the delivery of our first three units at Wylfa and is a tangible example of the Government’s ‘golden age’ of new nuclear being delivered successfully with British technology. “This brings certainty to the UK SMR programme and differentiates our business as the only SMR company with multiple commitments in Europe - an initial three units at Wylfa and up to six units in Czechia. “We are transforming the way nuclear projects are delivered, to give greater cost and schedule certainty with a standardised, factory-built approach. This project is important to the UK’s energy security and will power up our business and the UK supply chain. This is a tremendous opportunity which will bring clean, secure energy for the UK, unlock exports and strengthen the UK supply chain.” #SMR #RollsRoyceSMR #Nuclear #Wylfa
