It is a critical time: we are supporting a legal challenge against Sizewell C’s planning consent (by TASC), which Ministers granted against the recommendation of the Planning Inspectorate, and the government is considering giving financial support.
* Join Us. Being part of the campaign is so important right now. Sign up here to receive regular updates.
* Consider making a donation to Stop Sizewell C. We need to raise funds to support the legal challenge and continue campaigning.
How can we stop Sizewell C?
- Money! Since late 2022 the UK government and EDF co-own Sizewell C, but if no one else will invest, construction cannot go ahead. You can help by writing to pension funds or other potential investors. You can also write to the Chancellor, Jeremy Hunt and tell him there are more urgent and better value for money than continuing to support Sizewell C: public.enquiries@hmtreasury.gov.uk, Attn The Rt Hon Jeremy Hunt MP. Salutation Dear Chancellor
- Politics. If Sizewell C, or the nuclear tax needed to finance it, is unpopular, Ministers will listen. Sign our Petition with Together Against Sizewell C at www.stopsizewellcpetition.com or write to Claire Coutinho MP, Secretary of State for Energy Security and Climate Change (email for now cnrdcorrespondence@beis.gov.uk) Dear Secretary of State.
- Planning. An application for a Judicial Review of the planning decision, filed by Together Against Sizewell C in August 2022, was rejected in June 2023 but we are appealing.
