The
energy-geek world I inhabit has been abuzz this week with the
announcement of commercial terms for the construction of 3.2 GW of new
nuclear power in the UK, to be known as Hinkley Point C. Total cost to
first operation is £16 billion, comprising £14 billion in construction
and £2 billion in costs to date. At £5,000 kW installed, we are talking
some serious coin here.
