Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what target her Department has set for the level of private equity finance to be raised for Sizewell C; how much equity has been committed (a) in total and (b) by EDF; what deadline there is for the conclusion of the private equity-raising process; and whether her Department has set a maximum level of equity that it will commit to this project.

The equity raise process for the Sizewell C process is ongoing and commercially sensitive – the Government cannot comment on these matters at this stage.
