Thrilled to share the latest: Sizewell C has just signed a Programme Alliance Agreement with construction giants Balfour Beatty, Laing O’Rourke, and Bouygues Travaux Publics—collectively forming the Civil Works Alliance (CWA)—to deliver the main civils contract at Suffolk’s new nuclear power station ⚡🇬🇧
Key highlights:
The alliance will handle enabling works, earthworks, marine & tunnelling, and all core civils infrastructure—covering the Nuclear Island and Balance of Plant.
These firms bring valuable experience from Hinkley Point C, ensuring efficient and innovative replication on Sizewell C
Nigel Cann, Co‑MD of Sizewell C, emphasised that this collaboration not only boosts productivity but also seeks to generate lasting local impact, creating 7,900 on‑site jobs at peak, with thousands more across the UK supply chain.
This milestone, alongside Centrica’s recent 15% equity commitment, showcases a powerful momentum: UK energy infrastructure isn’t just funded—it’s engineered by British businesses for a resilient, low‑carbon energy system.
💼 Why it matters
It cements the UK’s ability to replicate and scale nuclear delivery expertise domestically.
It empowers local economies, supporting jobs and SME supply chains in Suffolk and beyond.
It reinforces the trajectory toward energy security and net-zero targets.
