This is the first new generation nuclear power plant built in the "fog island nation" since 1995.

With an estimated cost of £ 14 billion (about $ 22.5 billion), Hinkley Point C nuclear power plant is capable of producing electricity equivalent to 7% of the UK's total electricity, which is enough to supply granted to the consumption needs of 5 million households.

The project will also create jobs for 20,000-25,000 workers during construction and 900 stable jobs to operate the plant for a period of 60 years.

Speaking to the House of Representatives, British Energy and Climate Change Minister Ed Daveycho said the British government "turned on a green light" for the project after EDF underwent a process of consulting local officials within the last three years and a year-long examination of the British Planning Agency (UKPI).

Mr. Davicho said that EDF's project would be a "milestone" in Britain's efforts to reduce carbon emissions, while emphasizing that nuclear power would play a " key role" in the fight against mutations. climate change.

According to Davey, the project will bring many economic benefits to Somerset County through the number of direct jobs created as well as the supply chain and the use of local services. Currently EDF Group has only one final legal barrier to overcome that is the construction permit.

Besides, until this time, the British Group and Government have not reached the final agreement on electricity prices produced at the factory. Davey said the electricity price negotiations will soon end.

The British government currently considers nuclear power to be central to its efforts to reduce carbon emissions and maintain power output in the country.

Under the plan, Britain will close more than 40% of its old power plants before 2025, while its oil and gas production is declining sharply in recent years.
