Working with SizewellC

Working with Sizewell C

Sizewell C is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to power the UK’s future while creating thousands of jobs, driving skills, protecting natural habitats and boosting local businesses. The project will generate at least 70,000 jobs nationwide, both directly and across its supply chain, with thousands of well-paid roles established in the local community. With our supply chain we are creating over 1,500 apprenticeships to help develop the skills and technology Britain needs to provide energy security for the UK.

British business

Sizewell C is a UK-based development built by UK-based businesses, driving investment in areas where it is needed most. We are committed to keeping 70% of our construction spend in the UK, creating opportunities for local, regional, and national companies while boosting economic growth.

Local Supply Chain Engagement

The local and regional supply chain engagement programme is funded by Sizewell C and delivered by Suffolk Chamber Supply Chain Engagement Team. They help companies in Suffolk and the wider regions of Norfolk, Essex, Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire and Cambridgeshire engage with Sizewell C and our Tier 1 suppliers, to best prepare their business to be ready for Sizewell C and keep them up to date with all relevant project news.

UK regional Supply Chain Engagement

Our nuclear power project will deliver 70% of its construction value to UK companies and, as a near replica of Hinkley Point C, we’re drawing on the expertise and a mature supply chain while also creating exciting new opportunities for businesses across the East of England and beyond. Of the 70,000 job opportunities created in the supply chain as a result of Sizewell C, and of the 1,500 apprenticeships, around 13,000 opportunities will include people employed from the North of England.

This builds on the deep nuclear heritage the region has built up over decades and, along with providing jobs, it will create tangible improvements to the social fabric of northern communities where long-overdue social and economic improvements will be felt. Suppliers from the Midlands, North, Scotland and Wales form an important part of the Hinkley Point C supply chain and Sizewell C will continue to harness the considerable skillset of our regional suppliers to build Sizewell C, in the process developing a pipeline of talent that can help the nuclear industry including with other nuclear projects such as Wylfa in Wales.
