Sizewell C Reactor cost has doubled to £38 billion but could triple to &po

AleRunner writes: "The total tally for the UK’s latest bet on nuclear power, Sizewell C, is highly likely to rise above the cost of Hinkley Point C." reports Energy Voice continuing, "Taken together, the impact of project overruns and inflation could push up the estimated £38 billion price tag of the nuclear power project, in 2024 prices, by between almost £10bn and £20bn or more." and later states "This would make Sizewell C one of the most expensive nuclear power stations in history; despite advances in EDF’s European pressurised reactor (EPR) technology, and the wealth of experience gained developing nuclear projects.". despite the increases, the article states that "Sizewell C is expected to be up to a quarter more efficient than previous reactors, and that economy of scale should lower the cost of power for the consumer. The project is expected to deliver 'electricity system savings of £2 billion a year on average once operational', the energy department said"
