Responding to news that Sizewell C has been given the greenlight, Ben Martin, BCC Policy Manager, said: 

“Sizewell C will be at the heart of the UK’s transition to net zero. Its reactors will power 6 million homes, with the project supporting as many as 70,000 jobs nationwide once completed. Thousands of local jobs will also be created, alongside 1,500 apprenticeships for young people. Businesses in the region will be at the heart of supply chains stretching across the country, benefiting from the £4bn boost to the regional economy this project will bring.  The Prime Minister and the Chancellor are right to focus on getting Britain building again – the road to growth leads through major infrastructure projects, creating highly skilled jobs, investment in UK plc and supply chain opportunities.”
