Hinkley project: completely out of control
I think we all know the basic history of the Hinkley Point C nuclear power project here: initially talked of by EDF as being absolutely necessary for the UK power system by no later than 2017, they are now so far behind schedule they’ve even sought (and been granted, by the Tories) a waiver on the back-stop start-up date of 2035. Taking the piss, or what?
They always plead changes in regulations** / covid / inflation / phase of the moon or whatever, but it’s hard to obscure the facts of their basic incompetence, as manifest in, well, every one of their wretched EPR projects. I could elaborate. Now, it seems, they’re passing round the hat for another £4bn. Under the terms of the CfD, they pick up the tab for project over-runs – the only good thing about that contract. Personally, I suspect the extra £5bn just granted them “for Sizewell C” – even before it reaches FID, FFS! – is also really a cash-bung to keep going with Hinkley. Sizewell, you see, isn’t going to be developed on the CfD model, it’ll be ‘rate-based’ (to use the American term), i.e. nothing effectively reining back the costs: Taxpayer Will Pay.
I know nukes have their advocates, but surely that’s only theoretical, wishing for hypothetical nukes that don’t exist? Or, someone will tell me we could have a S.Korean one that actually works. Or indeed three, for the same price.
You just know it’s also bound up with French ‘cooperation’ over the boat people. Ah, diplomacy. Thank Heaven the FCO is so good at what it does, eh?
