New-build projects are making progress, but governments are still struggling with finding the right financing package for large reactors The delayed Flamanville-3 is one of three EPR units under construction in Europe.

The UK is facing a major challenge to replace its aging fleet of Generation I nuclear power plants, many of which are scheduled to shut down in 2023.

The project by French state utility EDF to build two Generation III EPR units at Hinkley Point C in Somerset is on track for connection to the grid by 2025. Once in commercial operation the two units will provide up to 7% of the total electricity demand. Two similar units are planned for the Sizewell site in Suffolk.

However, press reports have suggested EDF is in “a race against time” to secure a funding deal for Sizewell C as delays risk making the project prohibitively expensive.

According to The Times newspaper EDF has hired Rothschild as financial adviser for the project and says it wants a “definitive way forward” from the government this year so it can start construction in 2022.

France’s Alstom and US-based General Electric (GE) signed an agreement on 4 May to implement arrangements reached in 2015 which will enable Alstom to pull out of three energy joint ventures (JVs) - grid technology, renewable energy, and global nuclear and French steam power. These had been set up in November 2015 as part of the sale of the Alstom Energy business to GE, partly to appease the French government, which held a part of Alstom, giving Alstom non-controlling interests, but also redemption rights that would require GE to purchase all of Alstom’s interests within three-years.

The UK government on 15 September approved Electricite de France’s (EDF’s) GBP18bn ($24bn) project to build two Areva-designed European Pressurised Water Reactors (EPRs) at the Hinkley Point C site.

The UK confirmed previously that EDF would initially have a 66.5% stake in the project, with CGN taking 33.5%.
