More than 70 per cent of the supply chain for the SMRs of Wales will be built in Britain, that's jobs and opportunities, but obviously we could open up even more opportunities if we were actually building the projects in Scotland as well.
Thousands of good jobs are being created right now in renewable energy and upgrading our grid and we want to make it as easy as possible for people with skills from the oil and gas industry to take advantage of these opportunities.
To be clear: there was no threat to the wider grid and nobody lost power. We have one of the most resilient energy systems in the world.
