The continued operation of Sizewell B, or any UK nuclear power station, is a decision for the operator, EdF, and the independent nuclear regulator, the ONR, based on safety and commercial considerations.

Sizewell B is currently scheduled to generate power until 2035 but is widely expected to extend its operation beyond this date. EdF is actively exploring long-term operations for Sizewell B.
