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?”

"Risk of serious injury" at #HinkleyC after regulators identified "inadequate fire controls". @The_ONR said contractor Bylor JV "did not meet the standards we require, particularly given the scale and complexity of ongoing construction work.

"#HinkleyC will slap £1bn/yr onto energy bills the moment it starts...a subsidy locked in >a decade ago. A second £1bn will land through the #nuclear levy bankrolling #SizewellC. Campaigners call the combination a #nucleartax on households”

Tell the UK Government they must do better for nature!
I've just emailed my MP to tell them what nature means to me and that I want it to stay protected. Will you take action too?

An arctic tern? And there was us thinking it was ££££ that scuppered Hitachi's #nuclear plans at #Wylfa (no, no it really was the money; a third paid by @energygovuk and a third paid by #Japan's government wasn't enough for @Hitachi.)
