Ministers to conduct fresh review into much delayed project, with no green light expected until autumn despite EDF’s confirmation
Britain’s first new nuclear power station for a generation is in fresh doubt after the government delayed making a final decision on the £18bn Hinkley Point C, despite EDF’s directors voting to start work on the project.
The government said ministers would now conduct another review of the controversial project and make an announcement in the early autumn about whether to give it the green light.
