Building more than just a power station.
Helping Britain Achieve Net Zero
At Hinkley Point C we're building two new nuclear reactors, the first in a new generation of nuclear power stations in Britain providing zero-carbon electricity for around six million homes.
Marking a significant milestone in the revitalisation of our nuclear power industry, Hinkley Point C will make a major contribution to the Britain’s move to reduce carbon emissions.
