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?”

Octopus Energy's CEO says it will take decades to roll out new #nuclear power stations, long after the current energy crisis is over and data centres as well as other sources of new electricity demand have come on stream.
“Not only is it going to be the most expensive power in the world, it’s going on bills today, while we are in a cost of living crisis,” he added.
“We’re hiking energy bills to pay for a fantasy future.”

Says a lot when businesses are at their wits end! Whenever #SizewellC trumpets the so called “benefits” of their project, they never talk about the victims #StopSizewellC
