Company claims a plant at Sizewell in Suffolk would be 4bn cheaper than 20bn project
EDF Energy has claimed it could build a second new nuclear power station in Britain that would be 20% cheaper than the 20bn Hinkley Point C project under construction in Somerset.
The French state-owned company said a new plant at Sizewell on the Suffolk coast would be cheaper because of replication in construction techniques, existing grid connections and the exploration of new finance models.
