We are the first nuclear power station in the UK to be funded under the Regulated Asset Base funding model (RAB). The project will generate low‑carbon electricity for at least 60 years, supplying over 6 million homes and supporting around 7% of the UK’s current electricity needs. We are building for the next generation with abundant, affordable, ultra‑low‑carbon power. Our vision is to lead the way on nuclear and deliver on it.
