NFLA comments on Plans to Impose a Nuclear Tax on Consumers’ Bills

5th November 2021

The UK & Ireland Nuclear Free Local Authorities (NFLA) has reacted with dismay to a debate in the House of Commons on the Nuclear Energy Financing Bill.

The Nuclear Energy Financing Bill received its second reading in the House on Wednesday 3rd November.  The Bill is intended to provide a new funding model to support the financing of large-scale and advanced nuclear technologies including the Sizewell C project in Suffolk. The Minister of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy said the lack of alternatives to the funding model used for Hinkley Point C has led to the cancellation of projects, at Wylfa Newydd in Wales and Moorside in Cumbria.

What is the real cost of nuclear power?

No one knows, until the final bill for dealing with the waste has been totted up in thousands of years. EdF and the UK government are planning to dump the waste, and the costs of managing it, onto future generations.

Stop Hinkley was founded in 1983

We played a major part in the 14-month public enquiry in 1988/9  and continued to campaign for alternative renewable energy sources and energy conservation measures.

The closure of Hinkley A was announced in May 2000 as a result of our campaigning.
