Comment on Sizewell C power station to be built as part of UK’s £14bn nuclear investment
blackn1ght@feddit.uk 4 days agoWhat’s worse is they contract in a fixed price for the power generated which is way higher than renewables can generate it for. So we’re paying more for our electricity.
I guess they do this due to the enormous amount of investment needed to build a nuclear power station, so need some way of guaranteeing returns on it?
