UK commits to building new nuclear power station | BBC News

The UK government has committed £14.2bn of investment to build the new Sizewell C nuclear plant on the Suffolk coastline, ahead of the Spending Review.

Sizewell C will create 10,000 direct jobs, thousands more in firms supplying the plant and generate enough energy to power six million homes, the Treasury said.

Once construction work begins, Sizewell C will take at least a decade to complete.
