Cost estimate for UK's next nuclear power plant to be increased by 90%, already before start of its main construction phase. Now to €44 billion, that's €13,700 per kW, hardly lower than Hinkley Point C.
when the FT revealed in January that the cost of building the Sizewell C nuclear plant had risen to around £40bn they all denied it
now we can reveal the actual price tag - to be announced this week - and it is £38bn

Dutch government will found a state energy company to build and operate the nuclear power plants it's aiming for. The Minister: "Market parties are not willing to build and operate a nuclear power plant at own risk. Even with far-reaching state support they do not want to carry this responsibility."
Het Kabinet gaat een staatsbedrijf oprichten voor de bouw en exploitatie van kerncentrales. Want ‘Marktpartijen zijn niet bereid om een kerncentrale volledig voor eigen risico te bouwen en te exploiteren.’

The world has made real progress in bending down the curve of future emissions.
While we remain far from on track to meet our climate goals, the positive steps we’ve made should reinforce that progress is possible and despair is counterproductive.
