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.

Sizewell C has signed an agreement with EDF Energy for the freehold of the land required for construction of a new NPP on UK’s Suffolk coast. Sizewell C is expected to host two EPR reactors producing 3.2 GWe similar to the Hinkley Point C plant, under construction in Somerset. EDF Energy submitted a development consent order (DCO - planning application) for the plant in May 2020, which was granted in July 2022. In March, the UK's Environment Agency granted environmental permits. In January, Sizewell C NPP triggered its DCO, opening the way to formal construction.

EDF has reported a net profit of €10bn ($10.75bn) for 2023, compared with a loss of €17.9bn in 2022. This was mainly attributed to increased nuclear power output in 2023 as reactors closed for repairs due to stress corrosion returned to operation. EDF, which was renationalised in 2023, reported sales of €139.7nb and earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) of €39.9bn.
