Sizewell C’s business is to design, finance, construct, commission, operate, maintain, and eventually decommission the nuclear power plant and related infrastructure at Sizewell C in Suffolk. Overall, whilst the Company is in the construction phase, the Boards’ principal focus is on the development and construction of Sizewell C on time, on budget and to the highest quality and safety standards. The Company is maturing to meet all these requirements.

Sizewell C is economically regulated by OFGEM under the RAB model, similar to other UK electricity distribution networks and Thames Tideway.

Sizewell C's construction strategy is to replicate the design of Hinkley Point C, using much of the same supply chain whilst innovating in delivery to achieve significant savings in both time and cost.

Following Financial Completion and Revenue Commencement, Sizewell C is fully funded and owned by The Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero representing HM Government, La Caisse, Centrica, EDF and Amber Infrastructure.
