Our project
Clean electricity made in Britain
Sizewell C will provide decades of clean, reliable electricity for around 6 million homes. Together with wind and solar, it will help to build a greener energy system and protect households from high gas prices.
With the UK Government as the biggest shareholder, Sizewell C is a British nuclear project which will strengthen our energy security while providing thousands of great jobs across the country.
Final Investment Decision
Funding Secured for Sizewell C
On 22 July 2025, the government confirmed private investment in Sizewell C from EDF, Centrica, La Caisse, and Amber Infrastructure Limited – unlocking the biggest clean energy investment in a generation.
British-owned nuclear power
Green Light for Sizewell C
On 10 June 2025, the UK Government gave the green light for the project saying it marked a new ‘golden age’ of clean energy abundance. It’s the first majority British-owned nuclear power station in over three decades.
New Oxford Economics Report
Positive Economic Impact of Sizewell C
A new report, released in December 2025 by Oxford Economics shows Sizewell C will be a major driver of growth in Suffolk, the East of England and across the UK.
With £4.4bn already invested in the East of England, construction is well underway — and the benefits will extend nationwide, with a third of economic gains and over two-fifths of jobs created outside the region.
Communities
A once-in-a-generation opportunity
Our project is already helping to spread prosperity and change lives for the better in East Suffolk. We are creating huge new opportunities for local people and businesses. At the same time, we are listening carefully to residents and working hard to reduce the disruption caused by the construction of the power station.
Careers
Thousands of great jobs and training opportunities
Our project will create 17,000 jobs during peak construction, including 7,900 in Suffolk. We will employ at least 1,500 apprentices.
Sizewell C will help to change lives for families and communities across the UK, including in places that are crying out for skilled work. We are building a diverse workforce and we are determined to spread opportunities as widely as possible.
