UK government spending plan guarantee for Wylfa Newydd

A new nuclear power plant on Anglesey by Japanese firm Hitachi is among the projects listed in a 20-year infrastructure spending plan published by the UK government.

It guarantees to support finance for developing a new station at Wylfa.

Building the £8bn Wylfa Newydd (New Wylfa) is subject to planning approval, a process expected to take three years.

Hitachi's reactors also need to be approved by the Health and Safety Executive.
