Sizewell C

The government has outlined plans to transform the UK’s energy system from one based on fossil fuels to one that is ‘fit for a zero-carbon economy’.

Around 10,000 high-skill jobs in the nuclear construction industry are under threat if Sizewell C does not go ahead, according to the country’s biggest trade union.

EDF has announced that it will submit its application for a development consent order (DCO) for a nuclear power station ‘slightly later than planned’ because of the coronavirus (Covid-19) outbreak.
