Description
Description | The Hinkley Point C nuclear project in the UK is a complex nuclear power plant construction project that has experienced repeated delays and cost overruns. The project aims to build two nuclear reactors to power 6 million homes for 60 years. The completion schedule is now expected to be delayed by at least another year due to challenges with the installation of electrical systems. The project's budget has increased to more than £40 billion due to various factors including Brexit-related issues, construction struggles, the Covid pandemic, and inflation. EDF is the operator of the project, and China General Nuclear Power Corp. owns 25% of the project but stopped funding its minority share at the end of 2023. |
