Hinkley Point C: one step forward, one step back
Report summary
Following a majority vote in support of the project, the board of EDF has announced that it intends to proceed with its investment in Hinkley Point C. So, for a short while at least, it looked like the UK’s first new-build reactor in nearly 30 years had a green light to begin major construction works. Shortly after EDF’s announcement, the UK government made one of its own, saying that it now required some time to further consider the project.
