Energy crisis: UK ready to fund huge new nuclear power plant to slash foreign reliance

Sizewell C is expected to operate for at least 60 years.

It will be located next to the existing Sizewell A and B plants, the former of which is decommissioned but the latter of which is still generating power.

While the Government gave the green light for the development of the new power station back in July this year, negotiations over potential funding have continued.

However, Whitehall sources have indicated that Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Chancellor Nadhim Zahawi are ready to announce financial backing within weeks.
