EDF says costs have risen by £3bn but that the increase will not be borne by UK consumers or taxpayers
The new nuclear power station being built at Hinkley Point in Somerset will start operating a year later than planned and will cost an extra £3bn, it has been announced.
The French energy company EDF published the findings of a review into the cost and schedule of the power station taking account of the continuing impact of the Covid-19 pandemic.
