Hinkley Point C will mark a signifcant moment in the
revitalisation of the UK’s nuclear power industry.
Subject to a fnal investment decision, EDF Energy’s Hinkley Point C will be the frst in
a new generation of nuclear power stations in the UK. Capable of generating 3.2GW,
it will sit alongside an operating nuclear power station, and one being decommissioned,
on the northern Somerset coast in the south-west of England.

01Introduction
Our energy future
The United Kingdom is facing a critical time in its energy future. We need to face the
challenges of decarbonising our energy system, while replacing signifcant amounts of
existing infrastructure that is due to come offine over the next decade. This must be done
in an affordable way that delivers a low-carbon transition at the lowest cost for consumers.
By 2030 over 55% of the UK’s older power stations Hinkley Point C will bring many other benefts too.
