Trade body RenewableUK recently revealed data showing the UK has the largest planning pipeline of offshore wind projects in the world, at around 86GW. Nuclear targets increased to 24GW by 2050. Achieving the government's nuclear ambitions would require a huge ramp up of nuclear power capacity from less than 7GW today.
