Nuclear at heart of proposed Moorside clean energy hub |
A group of major companies, trade unions and individuals have launched an initiative to develop a Clean Energy Hub centred on a package of nuclear projects at Moorside in Cumbria, north-west England. The proposal is based on projects including a new 3.2 GW UK EPR plant, as well as small modular reactors (SMRs) and advanced modular reactors (AMRs), with links to technologies including renewables and hydrogen production.
The Moorside Clean Energy Hub plans to capitalise on the design, replication and project experience from the Hinkley Point C UK EPR and the follow-on Sizewell C project to develop Moorside, as well as offering to host SMRs and AMRs. Co-locating future technologies alongside UK EPR technology will bring together a range of skills, experience and industry knowledge at one site, the group said, helping to bring forward the development of SMRs and AMRs. The hub will link the nuclear plants with other energy technologies such as renewable energy generation, hydrogen production and energy storage. It will explore ways of providing clean heat to industry and could also produce hydrogen to be used as a "green" fuel for local transport and industry.
