Hear what @LordPhilofBrum had to say on his visit to Hinkley Point C:

#NetZero #BuiltByUs @energygovuk

[Hinkley Point C @hinkleypointc]

Recently, @LordPhilofBrum, the new Minister of State in the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, visited Hinkley Point C.

He met with our teams and discussed Hinkley Point C’s crucial role in the UK's low-carbon strategy.

Nuclear power is clean, cost-effective and reliable source of energy ⚛️

Here's @LordPhilofBrum taking a tour of @hinkleypointc which is just one project working to boost skills and jobs for local communities to help power millions of homes in the future with nuclear energy.

Hinkley Point C’s new factories in Bristol are providing evidence of the significant productivity boost from modular construction. This means building ever larger pieces of the power station in satellite factories and lifting them into place. Read more - https://t.co/YegAfHwxat

"Nuclear provides a lot of zero-emissions power from a comparatively small geographical footprint for a very long period of time" ⚡️

@NIAUK CEO @tomjgreatrex in @thetimes as @hinkleypointc continues to progress👏

I welcome this. The commitment to carry on with our SMR downselection timetable, the plan to deploy them around the country and a commitment to complete Hinkley and Sizewell is good for the nuclear industry, our energy security and our economy...

🏗️⚡Hinkley Point C will generate enough low carbon energy to meet 7% of the UK’s electricity needs.

🏠That is enough electricity to power more than 5 million homes…

Today is International Women in Engineering Day. Meet Lauren, an engineering surveyor at HPC, who completed her apprenticeship with us.

We are celebrating the impact of all the women in the nuclear industry who are helping to build a #NetZero future.
