Nuclear energy
It’s never far from the headlines. But it’s also never far from our power lines.
Nuclear power is an established part of the world’s energy mix, providing a source of large-scale, baseload supply in many countries.
The strategic role of nuclear power has come into focus as governments move to decarbonise their electricity generation while also responding to rising demand and concerns about energy security.
But nuclear’s part in the energy mix also comes with immense challenges. Safety, finances, very long timescales, skills shortages and considerable public and political scrutiny all add to the complexity of developing nuclear power projects.
We are working with companies, governments and industry stakeholders in every region of the world to assist with the decisions, planning and implementation of nuclear power projects.
