NuGen Ltd, a UK nuclear company, recognises that major investment is required in the UK to respond to the dual challenges of securing future energy supplies and achieving reductions in CO2 emission. In 2009, NuGen secured an option to purchase land on the West Cumbrian coast from the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority and in 2011, the UK government confirmed through its National Policy Statement, that NuGen’s site was suitable for a new nuclear power station.
As part of the project’s future development, NuGen has decided to launch two international design competitions. One is for design concepts for the key buildings, open to architects; the other, open to landscape architects, is for design concepts for important elements and features of the landscape scheme, including significant earth bunds and mounds. The winning designs will go on to be developed as part of a future landscape masterplan, with the mounds forming an integral part of the setting of Moorside Power Station.
