Consortium agrees Sellafield land deal
PLANS to build a new nuclear power station at Sellafield were advanced yesterday after a consortium of energy firms bought land earmarked for the development.
Scottish & Southern Energy (SSE), along with French firm GDF Suez and ScottishPower's Spanish owner Iberdrola will pay at least 70 million for the new site, according to the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority.
The firms will now set out plans for a 3.6 gigawatt capacity power station, with the construction set to begin in 2015, subject to planning approval.
