This document discusses funding sources and mechanisms for new nuclear build projects and decommissioning. It outlines that funding comes from various sources including government support through cash and guarantees, equity investment, debt financing including through export credit agencies, and revenue from contracts for differences and power purchase agreements. Decommissioning and waste are funded through dedicated funds that are often managed at a national level and pre-funded by utilities. The role of government involves supporting private development while ensuring sufficient funds for long-term liabilities. New nuclear projects require balancing regulatory and financing needs across multiple stakeholders including developers, owners and offtakers.
