Sizewell C Power Station: Finance
The question
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, with reference to the press release entitled Sizewell C gets green light with final investment decision, published on 22 July 2025, whether the National Wealth Fund is expected to return the additional capital provided to it by HM Treasury.
Answered by James Murray
The National Wealth Fund (NWF) is the provider of the Government’s loan for Sizewell C. This enables the project to benefit from the NWF’s operationally independent infrastructure finance expertise.
The NWF will repay the debt provided by HM Treasury following repayments made by Sizewell C to the NWF. The associated profit will be recycled to consumers, helping to keep the impact of Sizewell C on consumers’ bills low.
