Accross all active nuclear power stations in 2040, what will be the least spent per MWe (Megawatt Electrical)?
The fifth planned Rolls-Royce SMR is expected to cost £1.8bn (~$2.2bn) to generate 470MWe - at a cost of £3.8mm (~$4.6mm) per MWe.
Price of a MWe is considered in the context of price per plant, meaning extensions to existing plants will affect the plant's total Price per MWe, not be considered separately. Similarly, re-activating existing inactive plants will not be considered for Price per MWe.
