UK, which will be plant's majority owner, also selected Rolls-Royce SMR as preferred bidder to build small modular reactors at major nuclear power sites and elsewhere.

Construction of the 3,000-MW plant at Wylfa on Anglesey would follow the Hinkley Point C and Sizewell C projects.

Eletricité de France is financing all construction costs for Hinkley Point C power plant, which it now expects to complete as late as 2031.

At construction completion, four projects in England would be Britain's first SMR deployment and its first use of the Westinghouse AP300 design.

Project owner Electricité de France now expects to complete the project between 2029 and 2031 and estimates its cost at between $39 billion and $43 billion.

U.S. developer TerraPower's natrium design is not among those of U.S., British and French developers selected for next phase of fast-track competition.
