Sizewell C (SZC) Project Contextual Information

SZC is designing and intends to construct, commission, operate and decommission two UK EPR reactors on the SZC Site, located at Sizewell, on the east coast of the County of Suffolk.

The SZC Project will be the most advanced nuclear asset in development in the UK with 3.2 GW of power capacity, providing 60 years of electricity and 7% of the UK’s current electricity demand, and directly supporting up to 70,000 jobs. SZC will be delivered as a regulated utility, with a robust RAB model and a comprehensive Government Support Package to provide protection against low-probability high impact risks. The project will be based on the HPC nuclear power station, replicating the UK EPR design that is being built at HPC, and will use the majority of the same supply chain resulting in a significant reduction in construction risk.
