Hinkley Point C could be delayed to 2031 and cost up to £35bn, says EDF
Quote:
The owner of Hinkley Point C has blamed inflation, Covid and Brexit as it announced the nuclear power plant project could be delayed by a further four years, and cost £2.3bn more.
The plant in Somerset, which has been under construction since 2016, is now expected to be finished by 2031 and cost up to £35bn, France’s EDF said. However, the cost will be far higher once inflation is taken into account, because EDF is using 2015 prices.

Truly becoming absurd at this point. My favorite? "This will absolutely not be paid for by taxpayers. This is a private business that needs to absorb the costs. Instead, we'll guarantee high prices for your electricity and have the tax payers pay the difference. Because that's tooooooootally different"
Edit: that's almost $80B in 2024 CAD for 3.2GW
