A taskforce will be launched to explore alternative resolution mechanisms for disputes between electricity network operators and landowners.

Hunt also revealed that the government has reached an agreement on a £160 million deal with Hitachi to purchase the Wylfa and Oldbury-on-Severn ex-nuclear power plant sites in Ynys Môn and South Gloucestershire respectively.
