The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, with reference to paragraph 3.12 of the National Audit Office report Sizewell C (HC 33), published in May 2026, what the funding model is for the proposed workforce academy.

Answered by Michael Shanks

The Sizewell C project is being funded through the Regulated Asset Base (RAB) model.

Detailed questions about the delivery of Sizewell C, including funding arrangements for the proposed workforce academy, are matters for Sizewell C Ltd.

Sizewell has said the project will support 17,000 direct and indirect jobs at peak construction, and plans to employ 1,500 apprentices, including at least 540 from Suffolk.
