A consortium led by billionaire industrialist Michał Sołowow announces a £35 billion investment plan to build 14 small modular nuclear reactors (SMRs) across three sites in the United Kingdom. Multiple reports describe the effort as using private capital to develop a fleet of SMRs intended to provide long-term electricity generation. The Guardian reports that the proposal includes a site at or near a former nuclear plant in Gloucestershire, and that the planned output is described as enough to power the equivalent of around 8 million UK homes for more than 60 years. The wider coverage also indicates the project is framed as supporting additional energy demand, including potential datacentre supply. Other outlets note that the plan involves developing the reactors through a structured consortium approach, and that related industry partners have been linked in the coverage. No government approval is stated in the provided summaries, and details on financing terms, regulator engagement, and project timelines are not included. Overall, the reporting centers on the scale of the private investment, the proposed reactor count, and the selection of three UK locations.
