Nuclear
About one fifth of the UK's electricity requirements have historically been met by nuclear power plants. These power stations largely date from the late 1950s and are now being decommissioned.
Concerns about future energy supply security and also the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions has led the UK Government to look at the construction of a new generation of nuclear plants. This is an exciting phase in the development of nuclear power in the UK.
Savills Energy has experience of acting for clients in the nuclear sector, notably:
- UK Nirex - advice on the effects of a nuclear waste facility on property values
- UKAEA - advice on alternative uses for decommissioned property at Winfrith
