Polish Firm Plans 14 UK Nuclear Reactors | Business and Finance News
Description
A Polish-backed energy giant SGE is set to revolutionize UK power with a £35 billion plan to build 14 small modular reactors across Britain—enough to power 8 million homes by 2034. Using factory-built tech from GE Vernova Hitachi, the project promises faster, cheaper construction and lower electricity rates than Hinkley Point C. SGE’s Canadian prototype shows early promise, and they’re eyeing Oldbury on Severn—a historic nuclear site—for their first UK plant. While the government backs this push for energy security and jobs, past nuclear projects’ cost overruns and waste challenges loom large. With competition from Rolls-Royce and a race to secure subsidies, SGE’s success hinges on site approval and price negotiations.
