MPs want 6-monthly, not annual, cost reports on Sizewell C for you to track
The House of Commons Public Accounts Committee has published its 17th report on Sizewell C, calling the government's plan for annual progress reports to Parliament inadequate and demanding six-monthly updates on costs, the construction timetable and milestones, plus investor returns. It said the project's cost range of £40.5bn to £47.7bn could add £9.8bn during construction and a further £12bn over its operating life to consumer bills.
Our readExpect this fight over reporting frequency to keep Sizewell C's costs a live political risk for you to track, rather than a settled question.
