Great British Energy – Nuclear (GBE‑N) has named the new nuclear plant next to the Wylfa site ‘Gwyndod Power Station’. The name was chosen by a panel of young people from Ynys Môn, chaired by Ynys Môn MP Llinos Medi and Secretary of State for Wales Jo Stevens, after hundreds of local suggestions. The panel was asked to select a name that reflects the heritage and future of the island. ‘Gwyndod’ comes from the old dialect name Gwyndodeg and honours the island’s identity, resilience and character. GBE‑N said the decision underscores the project’s long‑term benefits, including over £2.5 billion of investment, thousands of jobs and a clean power source for the future.
