Plans to build a replica of Somerset's Hinkley Point C nuclear power plant in Suffolk have been given the green light by the government.
The Sizewell C station will receive £700m of public funding and will be built by French energy giant EDF, which is behind Bridgwater's delayed Hinkley Point C plant.
The government said on Tuesday (November 29) the development would create 10,000 highly skilled jobs and provide low-carbon power to the equivalent of six million homes for more than 50 years. An arms-length body - Great British Nuclear - is also being established to develop a pipeline of nuclear projects beyond Sizewell C.
