EDF is a key backer of the Sizewell C nuclear power plant in Suffolk, which began construction in January 2024. The UK government holds over 80% stake in the project. EDF is also involved in the Hinkley Point C project, which has faced significant delays and cost overruns, leading to a write-off of €12.9bn. The Sizewell C project is projected to cost £40bn, double the initial forecast. There is considerable opposition to Sizewell C, particularly regarding its environmental impact and water supply concerns. Campaign groups have filed legal challenges against the project, citing financial and ecological issues. Teljes cikk (Euronews.com)
