UK overcapacity is expected to largely resolve by ~2016 with system likely to remain in balance until the early 2020s
Existing and under construction UK generation plantGW
Notes: Chart shows forecast installed capacity of power plants in Great Britain by fuel type, based on EDF Energy Best view as of July 2013. Includes embedded generation, excludes interconnection, currently 3.8GW, due to uncertain availability at peak times. Wind capacities de-rated at 10%to reflect limited ability to provide capacity at peak times. The date when new large-scale baseload generation is needed depends on rate of closure for existing plant. Peak demand based on DECC UEP, Oct 2012.

Affordability:ensuring reasonable, stable
cost of energy in a world with increasing scarcity of
resources
A Diverse Energy Mix
UK proposes a diverse mix of technologies meet it’s four objectives for energy policy
Economic Growth:High value capital intense
infrastructure projects provide construction jobs, up-skilling
and economic stimulus

Political support
“Labour supports the development of new nuclear power stations in Britain as part of a balanced, secure and clean energy mix.”- Shadow Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change Caroline Flint, 21/10/13
78% of MPs support the construction of a new generation of nuclear power stations, to replace the existing fleet as it closes, as one part of the solution to the UK’s energy needs, vs. 13% opposing – ComRes poll with a representative sample of MPs, Feb-March 2013.
“This [Hinkley Point C] is an excellent deal for Britain and British consumers…it will increase energy security and resilience from a safe, reliable, home-grown source of electricity.” - Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change Ed Davey, 21/10/13
“A landmark in our economic growth - Hinkley nuclear power plant means billions of pounds of investment, thousands of jobs and energy security.”-Prime Minister David Cameron, 21/10/13

The reactor
• Pressurised Water Reactor based on over 1000 reactor years of evolutionary designs.
• 2 x 1630 MW (electrical)• Evolutionary design:
Increased safety External protection from aircraft
impact and seismic activity• More Efficient: Uses about 17%
less uranium and produces less long-lived radioactive wastes v other designs.
• 60 year operating life
