Sizewell C’s business is to design, finance, construct, commission, operate, maintain, and eventually decommission the nuclear power plant and related infrastructure at Sizewell C in Suffolk. Overall, whilst the Company is in the construction phase, the Boards’ principal focus is on the development and construction of Sizewell C on time, on budget and to the highest quality and safety standards. The Company is maturing to meet all these requirements.

Sizewell C is economically regulated by OFGEM under the RAB model, similar to other UK electricity distribution networks and Thames Tideway.

Sizewell C's construction strategy is to replicate the design of Hinkley Point C, using much of the same supply chain whilst innovating in delivery to achieve significant savings in both time and cost.

Following Financial Completion and Revenue Commencement, Sizewell C is fully funded and owned by The Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero representing HM Government, La Caisse, Centrica, EDF and Amber Infrastructure.

When joining Sizewell C, you may wonder why you are contacted by colleagues with an EDF email address or see the EDF logo on portals and documentation you receive. This is because we have partnered with EDF for the provision of a number of support services whilst we complete a successful transition out of the EDF group.

At Sizewell C we encourage and embrace diversity and how it can improve our experience and performance at work. It is a requirement that those who join us have the right to work in the UK. Whilst sponsorship may be a possibility that we can explore, we remain committed to local recruitment wherever possible and to those already holding the right to work in the UK.

To be appointed to this role, you will need to meet the criteria for Security Vetting, which will ordinarily require you to have been a resident of the UK for at least three of the past five years
