<p>Nuclear developers and their investors will be responsible for funding all of the project development costs for new nuclear power stations in the UK.</p><p>Payments to generators under investment contracts and CfDs will be funded by a levy on suppliers, and ultimately sourced from bill payers. No funding is made from general taxation.</p><p>The Energy Act 2008 requires operators of new nuclear power stations to have arrangements in place, before construction begins, to meet the full costs of decommissioning and their full share of waste management and disposal costs. There is therefore not expected to be any cost to the public purse resulting from the decommissioning of new nuclear power stations.</p>
