Earl Russell (LD)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 15 October 2025

Debate

Modular Nuclear Programme

Contribution

My Lords, given that SMRs will not come online until the mid-2030s, I take this opportunity to ask the Minister what actions the Government are taking to ensure the demand for data centres does not end up with increased use of inefficient and polluting gas. What actions will the Government take to ensure that the energy demand does not end up increasing domestic energy bills?
