The investment of £1.3bn made available to the Sizewell C project last month is from the Department’s capital budgets agreed as part of the 2022 Spending Review.

The continued development of the Sizewell C project is commercially sensitive and we cannot disclose the further information at this time. The Sizewell C project is continuously reviewed and assured through the Major Projects Review Group (MPRG), and the Department has committed to publishing a value for money assessment for the project at the point of any Final Investment Decision.
