Sizewell C Power Station
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what proportion of castings and forgings for Sizewell C will be produced in the UK.
Answered by Michael Shanks
Sizewell C plans to award 70% of construction value to British businesses, and the supply chain is expected to include 3500 British companies, from all four parts of the UK. The project has already placed more than £4bn-worth of contracts with UK companies.
Sizewell C will be a second of a kind project, as an above ground replica of Hinkley Point C. As well as the design, Sizewell C will replicate many aspects of Hinkley’s supply chain; this is expected to give greater certainty of cost and construction requirements, which will ultimately benefit UK taxpayers and consumers.
