Intervenant: Henri Herkelmann thèmes: UK Government Policy Electricity Market Reform, EDF Energy’s Projects Présentation lors d’une table ronde sur les perspectives de plusieurs pays à la convention SFEN du 4 avril 2013.

1. The UK’s Energy Policy
April 2013
1 UK PROTECT

2. The Challenges of Our Energy
Future

3. The energy gap – need for new capacity
Existing and under construction generation plant in Great Britain
Increasing
GW need for new
capacity
• UK needs new generating capacity to replace existing capacity that will close
• UK Government has a legal obligation to cut CO2 emissions by 80% by 2050
• … and do it in a way we can afford

4. UK Government Policy
Electricity Market Reform

5. UK government policy to address this challenge
The UK government has taken significant steps to enable low-carbon investments
National Policy Statements for Energy Infrastructure
- Sets out policy framework for a faster, more predictable and accountable planning
system for renewable energy infrastructures
- The House of Commons voted overwhelmingly in favour of the National Policy
Statement on Nuclear Power Generation in July 2011
Energy Bill
- Part of the Energy Market Reform to encourage low-carbon investment

investors

6. EDF Energy’s Projects

7. EDF Energy’s Nuclear New Build projects
New nuclear has support from Government and Political Opposition as well as from the public
Hinkley Point C
First in a new generation of nuclear power
stations in the UK
Capable of generating 3,260MW, 7% of UK
need
“Shovel-ready”
Sizewell C
Just completed stage 1 public consultation

8. Hinkley Point C: the leading UK nuclear prospect
Hinkley Point C - a significant moment in the revitalisation of the UK’s
nuclear power industry
- 2 UK EPR nuclear reactor units – based on tried and tested PWR technology
- First nuclear power station build in the UK for more that 20 years
- Capacity to generate safe, reliable low-carbon electricity for 60 years
Hinkley Point C - confidence it can be delivered on time and budget through:
- Lessons learnt from major projects and incl. EPRs in France, China and Finland
- Stable design with known costs
- Decommissioning and waste disposal arrangements
- UK supply chain being paired with experienced French companies
- Early contractor involvement

9. Hinkley Point C: “shovel-ready”
Significant progress in 2012…
Generic Design Assessment
Nuclear Site Licence
July 2012: European Commission confirmed that the project meets the
requirements of the Euratom Treaty (articles 37 and 41)
…and further key achievements in 2013
Environmental Permits
Consent to construct new power station
granted by Secretary of State for Energy and
Climate Change on 19 March 2013
