Sizewell C – Wrong Project, Wrong Time, Wrong Place.

Stop Sizewell C statement on Sizewell C’s Final Investment Decision, 22 July 2025.

“This much-delayed Final Investment Decision has only crawled over the line thanks to guarantees that the public purse, not private investors, will carry the can for the inevitable cost overruns. Even so, UK households will soon be hit with a new Sizewell C construction tax on their energy bills. It is astounding that it is only now, as contracts are being signed, that the government has confessed that Sizewell C’s cost has almost doubled to an eye watering £38 billion – a figure that will only go up. Given that Ministers claimed not to recognise the cost was close to £40 billion is there any wonder there is so little trust in this project?”

WHAT YOU CAN DO…

@DaleVince I’m bitterly disappointed with #Labour who are wasting £bns on Sizewell C & plan for more new nuclear Nuclear certainly isn’t green or clean, diverts ££s away from quicker to deploy alternatives Sizewell C sited on eroding coast will be a victim of climate change not a solution.

It's time scientists and policy be honest that small and large nuclear reactors are a complete waste of time and resources and slow down real solutions to the major problems we face.

In yet more divisive and insulting rhetoric, a @hmtreasury press statement is headlined @RachelReevesMP "takes on the blockers". Has it not occurred to Ministers that it's the projects that are broken, not the legal system? #StopSizewellC

Diary date: 23 October #SizewellC Community Forum. Meeting starts 6.30pm, Sizewell Sports & Social Leiston, but from 5pm there are exhibits/information stalls for people to ask Qs about different aspects of the project. Expect traffic/transport to be super-busy!

YES! And household bills, yet energy intensive industries are exempt

“The government is protecting high-intensity users against these [#SizewellC #nucleartax] hikes but as a result small firms’ bills are due to shoot up. This is in effect a cross-subsidy"
