Sizewell C
Sizewell C is developing a nuclear power station on the Suffolk coast to generate up to 3.2GW of low-carbon electricity for the UK, covering design, construction, operation and decommissioning.
Sizewell C is developing a new nuclear power station on the Suffolk coast in England. The project is intended to supply reliable, low-carbon electricity to the United Kingdom in support of the country's energy security and net zero commitments. Its planned generating capacity is up to 3.2 gigawatts, enough to power around six million homes, with an operational lifetime of at least 60 years.
The company's scope spans the full lifecycle of the plant: design, financing, construction, commissioning, operation, maintenance and eventual decommissioning of the power station and related infrastructure. The construction approach draws on the design and supply chain of Hinkley Point C, with the aim of improving delivery time and cost.
Sizewell C works with UK businesses and the UK supply chain, and supports apprenticeship and local employment opportunities. The project is associated with tens of thousands of UK jobs. Technical domains covered include nuclear engineering, power station design, large-scale infrastructure construction, commissioning, plant operations and maintenance, and decommissioning.
