France’s Framatome has signed multi-billion euro contracts with Sizewell C Ltd, a standalone company majority-owned by the UK government, laying out the scope of its involvement in the Sizewell C nuclear new build project. This followed the UK Government Investment Decision in November 2022 to approve the construction of two EPR reactors at the Sizewell site on the Suffolk Coast. The two units will generate 3.2 GW of electricity and power the equivalent of 6m homes for 60 years.

The UK Department for Energy Security & Net Zero (DESNZ) has announced measures to speed up preparations for construction of the Sizewell C NPP following the launch of Great British Nuclear (GBN) to oversee a rapid expansion of nuclear power. In April the Government set a target of 24 GWe of nuclear capacity by 2050, meeting about 25% of the UK's projected electricity demand. This compares with about 6.5 GW of nuclear capacity today accounting for some 15% of its electricity. DESNZ says Sizewell C would also boost the UK’s energy security.

Électricité de France (EDF) says the construction cost of the UK’s Hinkley Point C NPP set to further increase to £32bn ($38.5bn). EDF revised its cost estimate in a presentation published alongside its annual results. In May, EDF raised the price for the two EPR reactors being built at Hinkley Point to £25-26bn. The plant was scheduled to begin operation in June 2027, but an additional delay of around 15 months is now possible, EDF warned.
