A decision taken (3 December) by EDF will see the lifetimes of all four generating Advanced Gas Cooled Reactor stations extended.
EDF Energy
EDF is leading the transition to a cleaner, low emission electric future, tackling climate change and helping Britain achieve Net Zero. We are Britain’s biggest generator of zero carbon electricity. Our fleet of nuclear power stations have generated enough low carbon electricity to supply all homes in the UK for more than 19 years. EDF is leading the UK's nuclear renaissance with the construction of a new nuclear power station at Hinkley Point C, and plans for a new power station at Sizewell C in Suffolk. Nuclear power is the most reliable, low-carbon energy source currently available to the UK. EDF is playing a key role in the development of nuclear sites, while Hinkley Point C will provide low-carbon electricity to meet 7% of the UK demand. The project is already making a positive impact on the local and national economy as well as boosting skills and education.
Workers building the Hinkley Point C nuclear power station have installed Britain’s first new nuclear reactor for more than 30 years.
New figures show that the nuclear industry now supports 3,500 jobs in Bristol, as the sector expands to support new nuclear construction.
The third and final liner ring has been lifted into place by giant crane, Big Carl, at Hinkley Point C’s second reactor building.
A multi-million pound overhaul of the Sizewell B nuclear power station is underway – and the work will bring a big boost to the Suffolk economy.
Hinkley Point C’s new factories in Bristol are providing evidence of the significant productivity boost from modular construction.
