The Enterprise and Growth Unit (EGU) promotes sustainable economic growth and higher productivity for the UK. We provide analysis and advice on enterprise, innovation, private sector investment and a cost-effective transition to a low-carbon economy. The Enterprise and Growth Unit has a varied and exciting agenda and we work closely with a wide variety of other teams across the Treasury.
HM Treasury is playing a key role in delivering the Government’s ambition to deliver nuclear power projects, in order to meet the UK’s aims on energy security, decarbonising our energy supply and reaching Net Zero. Working with the Head of Civil Nuclear, the role of nuclear energy policy advisor (SEO) will play a crucial part in delivering these ambitions and ensuring that projects represent value for money. The team covers all Government nuclear projects, including large-scale projects, like Sizewell C, Small and Advanced Modular Reactors, nuclear decommissioning and research & development spending on nuclear fusion. The postholder will also support on civil nuclear policy at fiscal events and spending reviews. The exact responsibilities of the role may change over time depending on ministerial priorities and the postholder may also be expected to contribute to the team’s work on the wider energy system, beyond the immediate nuclear energy portfolio.
