It is essential that the roles for nuclear energy are set out and assessed clearly, with the acknowledgement that they will not be adopted unless they are part of an optimised solution. It is also essential that similarly objective assessment mechanisms are applied to all decarbonisation options.

Renewable energy accounted for nearly 100% of all new electric capacity in Q1 with solar doubling in the last 3.5 years
