First power from a proposed new nuclear plant in Cumbria is now not expected until the end of 2025, a year later than had been planned, developer NuGen has said. The new timescale for the Moorside plant, included within consultation documents published this weekend, follows the company “reassessing” the schedule for construction and “learning more about the delivery of the project”, a spokesman said. He added that there were “elements of the project which are out of our control” such as securing financial support from the Government and then state aid clearance, and as a result NuGen believed it was “more appropriate to refer to the target date for Moorside Site delivering power as the mid-2020s.”
