- The project will make an estimated lifetime contribution of £4 billion to the regional economy.
- During the construction phase around a third of the Sizewell C workforce will come from the local area.
- 900 high-skilled jobs will be based in Suffolk once the plant is operational.
- The project is working with local charities to ensure the widest possible access to jobs and is funding local initiatives to promote social mobility.
The Sizewell C Neighbourhood Fund has been established to strengthen links with the local communities around the Sizewell C development site.
Operating power station, Sizewell B, has a long-standing annual community fund of £10,000 which is spread across the year on projects which benefit local people.
The Sizewell C fund also makes £10,000 available for projects that are within a 10-mile radius of the proposed development site.
The Sizewell C Neighbourhood Fund is open all year for applications, and these will be reviewed and notified quarterly throughout the year.
