26 Apr (NucNet): EDF Energy is cutting the number of people working on its planned new nuclear plant in Somerset, England, as talks continue with the government over a contract price for electricity to be produced by the plant.
The company said it had taken steps to “refocus its activities” at the Hinkley Point C nuclear power plant project “as part of good project management and to control costs”.
Planning consent has been given for construction of the first new nuclear power plant in the UK since 1995 at Hinkley Point. But EDF Energy warned last month that before construction begins agreement is needed with the government on a contract for electricity the plant would produce.
