25/7/13: Hinkley Point - Latest?

25/7/2013

0 Comments

 
Development consent was granted on March 19th; seven months later, and still nothing has been said (officially) about construction work going ahead. EDF have laid off most iof their workforce and there were hopes that they may have given up.

Then a month ago the government, as part of its 'spending review,' said that they would be underwriting the construction costs by up to £10 billion. £10 billion! The local press declared that it would surely be going ahead now - but still no announcement from the government or from EDF.

Presumably the negotiations still continue, in which case the £10bn was just the latest negotiating position - and EDF still want more.
