Government Response: Targeted indemnification for nuclear projects confirmed
The Government will bring forward proposals for targeted indemnification for nuclear projects where planning consent is subject to judicial review. Proposals are expected by Summer 2026, with legislation to follow if required. This directly addresses the Taskforce's recommendation to protect developers from damages incurred while proceeding during JR, and the timeline is consistent with the original target date.
