Britain is backing nuclear – and with our majority British-owned power station at Sizewell C, we’re proud to be leading the way.
The UK has a strong nuclear legacy, and Sizewell C sits at the heart of its energy future. With government backing and national support, we’re focused on delivering this vital project.
According to the latest YouGov polling, 24% of Britons now prefer nuclear power when thinking about the UK’s future energy needs – ahead of any other energy source.
Polling by ICM in 2022 found that most people in East Suffolk supported the Sizewell C project — and that support has only grown.
In 2025, polling across Suffolk, Norfolk, Essex, and the parts of Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire closest to the Suffolk coast showed strong backing for new nuclear in the region.

Friends of Sizewell C has been set up for our many supporters in East Suffolk.
If you’re from the area, you can stay informed about the project by following our social media and signing up to our Friends of Sizewell C via the dedicated website.
Over 70% of the £14bn construction value of the project will be spent in the UK.
