Wylfa site in North Wales chosen to boost energy security and meet climate goals, aiming to generate 7% of UK’s electricity.

The Wylfa B plant is expected to produce 3.2 GW of electricity, similar to Hinkley Point C.
The project could create thousands of well-paid jobs and significant investment in North Wales.
EDF, Westinghouse, and Kepco are potential bidders for the construction contract.
