Abstract

As the needs of UK infrastructure investment become clearer, the problem of funding these investments remain open to debate. To aid this, the development of nuclear power station’s is considered. The objective of the paper is to develop a governance lens that supports an assessment of both historic practice and current proposals to support discussion on infrastructure investment options. To meet this aim, general funding of infrastructure together with three governance paradigms are examined. The implications for infrastructure investment are highlighted and alternative paradigms analysed. These are subsequently discussed and conclusions drawn.
