Hinkley Point C is making incredible progress on-site in terms of construction. But we are also working hard to make sure the project benefits are accessible to people and businesses across the South West and the rest of the UK. The benefits range from increasing local employment and creating a sustainable regional supply chain, to investing in new training facilities and the community.
The latest Hinkley Point C socio-economic report shows that we’re meeting the ambitious targets that we set at the beginning of the project to deliver a lasting legacy.

Highlights
I am proud that so many people on and off the site have developed their potential and started their careers because of our project – and I am delighted that so many British businesses have grown their skills and capabilities because of their work with us. As the country and our region emerge from the coronavirus crisis, we will have demonstrated our duty of care for our community, whilst our scale and ambition to enrich people and industry will serve as a catalyst for national recovery – both through Hinkley Point C and the follow-on project at Sizewell C.
