The UK, like many other countries, has been focusing on increasing capacity, development and deployment of clean energy projects. UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer is initiating a departure from prior policy, new reactors will be able to be built anywhere in the UK, no longer being restricted to building on 8 designated nuclear sites. The plan significantly also involves construction of small modular reactors (SMRs), and PM Sir Starmer is also calling on greater public-private sectors’ collaboration, including to also develop SMRs to power AI data centres.
