Feedback from Stage 2 Public Consultation
Following the completion of the Stage 2 Public Consultation on the Sizewell C proposals, EDF Energy is aiming to provide feedback and an update to the community in the Autumn once the company has fully completed the analysis of responses. The responses number over 1,000 and have raised numerous matters and suggestions.
The quality and amount of in-depth feedback received from the general public was outstanding. Because of this high-value feedback the Sizewell C project team has a considerable and ongoing task in grouping, analysing and interpreting the feedback. The project team is taking the necessary time to fully evaluate all of the feedback.
A project newsletter will be circulated once full analysis has been completed.

EDF Energy engage at Suffolk Show
This year’s Suffolk Show provided the perfect backdrop for EDF Energy to engage with young people about energy facts and figures.
EDF Energy was one of more than 800 trade exhibitors at the two-day show on 31 May to 1 June at Trinity Park in Ipswich. Young apprentices from Sizewell B engaged with youngsters using interactive activities to show how low-carbon electricity produced at Sizewell B powers over two million homes. More than 4,000 visitors made their way to the EDF Energy marquee, which featured the opportunity to have ‘selfies’ taken with star of the show, Zingy.
Partnering to recognise Suffolk’s business excellence
EDF Energy had the privilege of cosponsoring the prestigious East Anglian Daily Times Business Awards at Trinity Park. This is the sixth year running the Sizewell C project has joined with Suffolk Chamber of Commerce and the EADT to recognise excellence in the Suffolk business community.
Jim Crawford, Sizewell C Project Director paid tribute to all nominated businesses, including Ipswich-based recruiters Sanctuary Personnel, who were crowned Suffolk Business of the year.
Jim said: “It is great to see so much business talent in the region and it is a great pleasure to be part of such a positive evening which recognises innovation, commitment, hard work and sheer passion to be successful.” EDF Energy works closely with the Suffolk Chamber of Commerce to encourage Suffolk business potential as a key part of the company’s approach to the Sizewell C project.
