Energy and climate change minister, Lord Hunt said:
“Hosting a nuclear power station would mean that Oldbury would
continue to play a big part in helping the UK transform its energy sector,
replacing old infrastructure with high tech, low carbon energy sources.
It’s essential that local people get involved and make sure their
voices are heard.
“Nuclear power provides reliable , cost-effective and low carbon
energy and will play a vital role, alongside renewable and clean coal in a
secure energy mix for the UK.
“A new power station could provide as many as 9,000 jobs in the area
during construction.”
