    Description

    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.
