About the role
SZC is ultimately owned by two shareholders, EDF and HMG. The shareholders hold their
investment in SZC through NNB Holdings Company (SZC) Limited. Over the course of the
current shareholding arrangements the shareholdings of the two shareholders will change.
The shareholders will fund SZC up until Financial Close through equity in line with
the approved schedule and budget. SZCs business is to design, finance, construct,
commission, operate, maintain, and eventually decommission the nuclear power
plant and related infrastructure (including activities relating to hydrogen, direct air
capture and/or desalination) at Sizewell C in Suffolk. The principal objectives of the
current development phase of the SZC project are to agree and implement the
Capital Raise Plan, including completing an equity and debt raise, agree the core
supply chain contracts and obtain the regulatory permits and licences required for
the construction phase of the Project (including the core environmental permits and
nuclear site licence).
Prior to the government investment decision SZC operated as part of EDF in the Nuclear Development
business unit and was staffed by EDF colleagues and independent contractors who are now in the process
of transferring to the direct employment of SZC. It is setting itself up as an organisation capable of
delivering a new nuclear power plant, from investment case and funding, to construction, commissioning,
operations, maintenance and decommissioning.
The SZC construction programme has a technical and commercial business case predicated on technical
replication of Hinkley Point C. EDF will be an important supplier of nuclear capability for the SZC
Programme from its established nuclear business footprint in the UK.
Key stakeholders are: UK Government, relevant Government departments and agencies including Treasury
BEIS, EDF, Financial investors and institutions, Regulators, Alliance partners and local communities.
