Great Britain plans to build up to eight more nuclear reactors as part of the new energy strategy.
The strategy, which aims to increase energy independence in the country and address rising prices, also includes plans to increase wind, hydrogen and solar production.
But experts have called for a greater focus on energy efficiency and improving the quality of existing and new constructions to better insulate them from temperatures.
Consumers are facing rising energy bills after the Russian invasion of Ukraine pushed gas prices even higher.
Under the government's new plans, up to 95 per cent of electricity in the UK could come from low-carbon sources by 2030.
The plan outlines the ambition to produce up to 50 gigavats (GA) of power through open-sea wind farms, for which the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy said it would be more than enough to power every home in the UK. .
The government's energy strategy has been long overdue, with one of the main points of dispute reported to have been the construction of wind turbines on the ground.
