Government throws its support behind future nuclear energy projects, including Sizewell C. Proposals to build the Sizewell C nuclear power station have received a significant boost after the business secretary Greg Clarke reaffirmed the government’s commitment to new nuclear projects. A spokesman for EDF said the new Suffolk plant would be 20% cheaper to construct than Hinkley Point C. “As well as reducing construction costs, the foresight of planners means that the vital connection to the UK grid is already in place at Sizewell, saving consumers more money. We will use the existing pylons to distribute power for six million homes and businesses. Sizewell C will benefit from a mature supply chain.”
