The National Wealth Fund (NWF) is the provider of the Government’s loan for Sizewell C. This enables the project to benefit from the NWF’s operationally independent infrastructure finance expertise.

The NWF will repay the debt provided by HM Treasury following repayments made by Sizewell C to the NWF. The associated profit will be recycled to consumers, helping to keep the impact of Sizewell C on consumers’ bills low.
