Kirsty Gogan attended a breakfast reception hosted by Energy UK at the House of Commons, bringing together industry leaders and parliamentary stakeholders to discuss the economic potential of nuclear energy. This event took place alongside the launch of a new report from Energy UK and EDF, highlighting the crucial role that nuclear power can play in advancing the UK’s clean energy goals and driving economic development.
Kirsty’s attendance highlighted her ongoing commitment to pioneering nuclear innovation as a means to accelerate the transition to net-zero, consistent with Terra Praxis’s mission to develop and deploy advanced nuclear technologies. The report advocates for urgent decisions on projects like Sizewell C and the advancement of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs), which align with Terra Praxis’s objectives of promoting scalable and flexible nuclear solutions.
As the UK’s energy landscape faces the challenge of replacing aging nuclear plants and meeting a forecasted doubling of demand over the next 25 years, discussions emphasized how nuclear can serve as a reliable, baseload source of clean power alongside renewables. The report underscores the significant economic benefits, including job creation, supply chain development, and opportunities for technological export.
This event exemplified the critical necessity to capitalize on existing expertise and rapidly deploy new nuclear technologies to secure energy independence and drive sustainable economic growth, aligning with Terra Praxis’s vision of a resilient, clean energy future.
