The Welsh government and the Sizewell C Consortium have signed a memorandum of understanding that could potentially see an investment of up to £900m in the Welsh nuclear supply chain and up to 4,700 jobs supported across Wales, if the power station is given the go-ahead.
At the point when construction of the Hinkley Point C nuclear plant in Somerset nears completion, this MOU sets out the opportunity for Welsh businesses to be part of the supply chain for the next build at Sizewell C, a statement said.
As well as the investment and employment opportunities, this MOU will help to retain the nuclear skills base in Wales that has been reinvigorated through the Hinkley Point C supply chain.
