Written Question
Sizewell C Power Station: Construction
Wednesday 7th February 2024

Asked by: Caroline Lucas (Green Party - Brighton, Pavilion)

Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, with reference to her Department's press release entitled Further steps to prepare Sizewell C for construction, published on 22 January 2024, which existing budgets the £1.3 billion additional investment has been made available from.

Answered by Andrew Bowie - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero)

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.
