Details
BEIS is
providing up to £120 million in funding to help mature potential
nuclear projects ahead of the expected government process to
select the next nuclear projects. The bid window for applications
is now open.
The aim of the FNEF is to help
industry reduce project risks, so they are better positioned for
future investment decisions. The FNEF will be targeted
at applicants that could be in a position to take a Final
Investment Decision (FID) within the next
parliament, subject to Value for Money and all relevant
approvals.
We expect the fund to support a limited number of nuclear
projects through grant funding to be awarded following a
competitive process.
