NIA responds to Sizewell B life extension agreement 

In response to EDF and the UK Government signing the agreement to extend the life of Sizewell B (link), Tom Greatrex, Chief Executive of the Nuclear Industry Association, said: 

“Sizewell B is the cleanest, most productive and most reliable plant in the whole country, so extending its life is one of the best things we can do to build an affordable and reliable clean power system. It will provide the vital baseload we need to stabilise the grid, cut gas imports, and cut bills. 

“Nuclear makes a unique and irreplaceable contribution to our energy security, so we should also continue to deploy new nuclear projects, to renew the benefits from clean, secure and reliable electricity for decades to come.”
