Responding to the Government’s final investment decision on Sizewell C, Energy UK’s chief executive, Dhara Vyas said:
“Today’s Final Investment Decision for Sizewell C is a major and very welcome announcement.
“Nuclear energy is already an essential part of the UK’s energy mix and large-scale projects such as Sizewell C will not only provide a reliable source of low-carbon power for millions of homes, they also strengthen the country’s energy security, and create thousands of jobs and opportunities in the local area for both people and businesses.”
Energy UK’s recent report Powering Growth highlighted the crucial role nuclear power can play in a clean energy system and how it can support the country’s economic growth.
