【号外】10月21日 ヒンクリー・ポイント・Ｃ建設合意

Emily Gosden @emilygosden

"Construction cost is one of the key responsibilities we are taking" claims EDF - to be shared by EDF and its partners.

Emily Gosden @emilygosden

EDF: price is below £100 (which it wanted) but significantly above £80 "which was starting point of gov't negotiation"..."it is a fair deal"

Emily Gosden @emilygosden

EDF says all guarantees it has got, on debt, against change of law etc, have significantly improved the risk profile for project. No kidding

"Miliband is dangerously left-wing!" cries Cameron, before working with socialist-run France and communist China to build Hinkley C.

Primly Stable @PrimlyStable

"The private sector does everything better!" says Cameron, adding that state-owned EDF is the only firm capable of building Hinkley C.

#nuclear: Davey: "For 1st time, nuclear power station in this country will be built without money from British taxpayer" #lol

EDF nuclear state aid approval: gov't engaged with Brussels for months. Hinkley "ticks all boxes" approval "not a formality" but "confident"

BBC News (UK) @BBCNews

#Hinkley nuclear deal will be "scrutinised" by Labour "to ensure it delivers value for money", Caroline Flint says http://t.co/kkvHBrIsUa

Primly Stable @PrimlyStable

"It's irresponsible for Miliband to fix prices in the energy markets!" says Cameron, before guaranteeing fixed wholesale prices for EDF.

Ed Davey after losing the line to #r4today: “This shows what happens if we don’t invest in new infrastructure.”

BBC News (UK) @BBCNews

"Ridiculous" that PM can set #Hinkley prices far ahead but won't freeze bills for consumers - Labour's Caroline Flint http://t.co/v8AeKWBQ69

Primly Stable @PrimlyStable

Next time a Tory tells you that privatisation is the only way forward, ask them why only state-owned EDF can build nuclear power stations.

EDF Communications UK @edfenergycomms

Lots of background facts and useful info about Hinkley Point C in our brochure http://t.co/y2aHdzJnhx

Primly Stable @PrimlyStable

Genuine question: under the Hinkley Point deal, who bears the cost of disposal / reprocessing / storage for spent fuel? Not seen it anywhere

Alistair McGirr @alistairmcgirr

A person who is a must follow today is @mark_johnston, knows more than most about the quagmire that is EU state aid.

Emily Gosden @emilygosden

EDF says between £2-£2.50/MWh of price is for decommissioning costs... capped at £3/MWh and any difference passed through to the consumers.

Tim Probert @TimProbert

*If* EDF is paying for construction overruns, some will question if HPC will go-ahead given total disasters at Olkiluoto-3 & Flamanville-3

Ben McGrail @Ben_McGrail

The Prime Minister will be at Hinkley Point in Somerset today - Energy Secretary Ed Davey just told us at @bbcsomerset.

Tim Probert @TimProbert

EDF getting 10% IRR but *presumably* not guaranteed if no construction risk. Never underestimate the nuclear industry's capacity to cock-up

Tim Probert @TimProbert

If EDF can't pass on the cock-up costs to the British consumer, it will have to think very, very hard about investing in EPR reactor abroad

Peter Campbell @Petercampbell1

EDF will make final investment decision by July 2014. Hinkley C expected to complete commissioning of the first unit in 2023.

George Monbiot @GeorgeMonbiot

Yes, I support #nuclear power, in general. But the economics of the #Hinkley deal are simply bonkers. Appalling value for money.

Emily Gosden @emilygosden

Energy UK on Hinkley: "Building new power stations is never quick or cheap." Well, no, but some are quicker and cheaper than others...
