Supporting and investing in the communities of Suffolk and Norfolk

Sizewell C is a vital project for Britain but it is also an opportunity to bring lasting change for the better to East Suffolk. It will provide:

  • Around 2,600 local jobs during peak construction
  • £125 million per year into the local economy
  • £40 million per year during the 60 years of operation

We want to make sure the benefits of Sizewell C are maximised for all communities in East Suffolk during both the construction and operational phases of the new power station. That's why we have developed wide-ranging plans, informed by many consultations, to mitigate the local impact of the project, including a funding package to support the environment, training and education, and local community groups.

Suffolk support for Sizewell C

We're not the only ones passionate about levelling up Suffolk and the East of England. We've heard from hundreds of ordinary local people who are equally keen to see more jobs, training and business opportunities in the area again, keeping people and families together. Listen to what a few of them had to say in this video.

Community benefits

Thousands of well-paid, highly-skilled jobs and training opportunities, direct and indirect financial investment into the local economy and community grants are just some of the ways Sizewell C will continue the good work Sizewell B has done to benefit its local communities.

  • People are going to stay in the local area because of SZC, because of the opportunities that are going to become available.

  • Sizewell B brought prosperity, it brought money into the local area. It gave people jobs, it gave people hope, it gave them a future, which is exactly what Sizewell C will do.
