Boosting the UK economy

British business - the backbone of our supply chain

Sizewell C is a huge new opportunity for businesses in the nuclear supply chain with thousands of companies across the UK set to benefit, all of which will change Britain for the better.

70% of Sizewell C’s project’s construction spend will go to UK companies helping them to create thousands of jobs up and down the country.

Our Supply Chain Strategy

Since the government announced its support for Sizewell C, we have started to secure a range of goods, works and services required to build and operate our power station.

Because we are building a near replica of Hinkley Point C, we will be using many of the supply chain companies and services they do, while creating brand new opportunities for businesses in the East of England.
