Meet the people behind the power,
the voices behind the volts,
the team behind the terrawatts
Highly-trained, committed, professional people who drive, cycle, walk into work each and every day to make sure you can click the kettle on. Each one with a key role in proudly generating zero carbon power and each one with a tale to tell about how they joined this fascinating family.
Greig Elliot is the third generation of his family to work at Torness nuclear power station, which has been producing low carbon electricity for more than 30 years.
Kate Donkin works in the efficiency office at Hartlepool power station, after being supported by EDF through sixth form and her degree at Durham University.
"Nuclear power is something that I feel strongly about. It's something that we need as a nation for baseline power."
