"The important thing is to focus on our long-term energy security. That means more renewables, more offshore wind and indeed more nuclear."The Rt. Hon. Rishi Sunak MP, Prime Minister, October 2022
Polling by ICM shows that the majority of people in East Suffolk want Sizewell C to go ahead.
A large local majority say nuclear is needed as part of the energy mix (70%) and that it could help Britain become more self-sufficient (70%).
According to YouGov, national support for nuclear has risen too, up 21 points since summer 2021.
The thoughts and suggestions of all our stakeholders, whether they’re local businesses, residents, charities or schools are incredibly important to us.

Over 70% of the £14bn construction value of the project will be spent in the UK. That’s why hundreds of businesses from across the UK have joined the Sizewell C Consortium to support the project.
