For suppliers and local businesses
Working together to deliver Hinkley Point C
Hinkley Point C has worked with over 4,000 companies from across Britain to deliver the first new nuclear power station to be built in the country for over 30 years. Whilst many of the major contracts have now been confirmed, we are continuing to provide support for local, regional and national businesses to access the significant opportunities of Hinkley Point C’s construction and long-term operation.
The project has helped British businesses into the supply chain for over a decade and is exceeding the original targets set. 64% of the value of the project is going to British businesses with over £5 billion already being spent with suppliers from across the Southwest region – well above the original target of £1.5 billion
In addition to creating high-skilled, well-paid jobs across the country the project is creating new industrial capacity to support the development of British infrastructure, including Sizewell C in Suffolk and the small modular reactor programme.
Driving Growth - Boosting the British economy
£13.3 billion contribution to the British economy - 64% of the value of Hinkley Point C will go to British businesses - 26,000 direct and indirect jobs are currently supported across Britain. £5.3 billion has already been spent directly with businesses based in the South West.

Benefits of becoming a supplier
Our investment in Hinkley Point C, followed by a second development at Sizewell C in Suffolk, will create significant opportunities for businesses. 64% of Hinkley Point C’s construction costs will be spent in the UK, building skills and expertise for the future.
Local companies are growing their skills and experience with contracts being delivered for everything from construction – remediation works, road improvement, ground works, fencing, plant hire, material transport – to site services – catering, reprographics and design, fleet hire, landscape maintenance, electrical services, road sweeping, waste management – and supply of goods and materials – aggregate supply, building materials and consumables.
Information, help and support
There are many contracts available for businesses during the construction, commissioning and operations of Hinkley Point C. The route to access these contracts is varied with companies working directly for EDF or for one of our key delivery partners or their sub-contractors.
Sustainability
Our goal is to incorporate sustainability principles and standards into our nuclear design and engineering, project processes and criteria. It is important to understand the opportunities and impacts that can arise throughout the lifecycle of our stations.
A large proportion of their impact is down to the way they are initially designed and built, and in the design and construction of modifications during their operating lives. We are therefore working to embed sustainability principles and standards into our new generation builds and other projects right from the beginning.
Health, Safety & Environmental Standard
Our Health, Safety and Environmental Standard sets out how we will seek to achieve ‘Zero Harm’ throughout the construction of Hinkley Point C, and outlines the health, safety and environmental expectations for everyone involved in the construction and commissioning of the proposed new facility and associated developments.
