Hinkley Point C (HPC)

Hinkley Point C (HPC) is a major nuclear power plant being built in southwest England. It will generate electricity by nuclear fission, where uranium atoms split to produce energy. This process provides a large, reliable source of low-carbon power to help meet the UK's energy needs and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Construction involves advanced reactors designed for safety and efficiency, and the project is a significant investment in the country’s energy infrastructure. Once operational, HPC will supply electricity to millions of homes, contributing to the UK’s transition to cleaner energy sources.
