North Nottinghamshire is set to become a global hub for a wide range of engineering, technological and scientific expertise, following the announcement that the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Agency has chosen West Burton as the future home of its STEP project.
The decision will see game-changing investment for the area with the STEP, or Spherical Tokamak for Energy Production, programme seeking to pave the way for the development of commercial power plants capable of producing a limitless supply of low carbon, clean energy. It will also showcase how a future fusion power station will be operated and maintained.
STEP offers the potential to transform and regenerate the area, creating thousands of jobs and supply chain opportunities across a number of sectors, in an area already intimately linked with energy production.
