Business Secretary Kwasi Kwarteng is understood to be pushing for the project, and Boris Johnson and Chancellor Nadhim Zahawi are also said to be on board. However other allies of Liz Truss seem concerned that making a decision soon would bind the hands of the new administration.
Government funding for a new multibillion-pound nuclear power station in Suffolk is expected to be approved in the coming weeks.
Whitehall sources said it was unclear whether the government investment decision on Sizewell C would be made before the change in prime minister, but confirmed it was likely to be given the green light.A final investment decision is due to be made early next year by the new prime minister and could see the government put several more billions into the new plant.
Business Secretary Kwasi Kwarteng is understood to be pushing for the project, and Boris Johnson and Chancellor Nadhim Zahawi are also said to be on board. Mr Kwarteng - who is tipped to become chancellor in a Liz Truss government - wrote in The Mail on Sunday that the government should"crack on with more nuclear power stations" in order to increase Britain's energy security.
However other allies of Liz Truss appear to have expressed concern that making the decision in the next fortnight would bind the hands of the new administration.
