Hinkley Point C

We are building two new nuclear reactors at Hinkley Point C in Somerset, the first in a new generation of nuclear power stations in the UK providing low-carbon electricity for around six million homes.

And it’s not just about power. We’ve put local benefits at the heart of Hinkley Point C, aiming to deliver as many of the long-term benefits it will stimulate to Somerset and the South West.

Hinkley Point C will:

• Create over 25,000 new employment opportunities
• Provide huge opportunities for local, national and international businesses
• Bring lasting benefits to communities throughout the South West
