The UK government has announced plans to accelerate planning approvals for the Sizewell C nuclear project and a sustainable aviation fuel plant. The move aims to reduce England's reliance on foreign fossil fuel imports and exposure to volatile prices, while also creating skilled jobs and bringing stability to energy supply.
The UK government has designated the Environment Agency as the lead environmental regulator for the Sizewell C nuclear project and Lighthouse Green Fuels. This will streamline the planning process, reducing costly delays. The Sizewell C project could supply six million homes with nuclear energy. The Lighthouse Green Fuels project will produce green fuel for aeroplanes from sources like agricultural waste. The government aims to remove almost all fossil fuels from the UK's electricity generation by 2030. The move is part of efforts to overhaul the planning system and speed up new energy and infrastructure projects.
