Take a look and join Simon Parsons as he lifts the lid on preparation to install the first nuclear reactor, steam generators and the world's largest turbine - the Arabelle. #Nuclear #NetZero #BuiltByUs

We’re proud to sponsor Sammi Kinghorn, an inspiring athlete who believes in our mission to help Britain achieve net zero. Sammi told us, “Climate change is one of the biggest issues of our time, but I believe that with courage and determination, we can work together to bring down carbon emissions. Much like in sport, it’s about pushing boundaries and achieving what seems unattainable.” We wish Sammi luck during this exciting summer of sport.

This #NetZeroWeek we’re recognising the career opportunities that the move to a net zero future can bring. At EDF, we’re already playing our part by developing thousands of workers across the energy sector in new, green skills. Today, around 23,500 jobs are supported around Britain by our new nuclear project at Hinkley Point C, with over 1,300 apprentices trained on-site so far. Plus, our commitment to further extend the lives of the four generating AGR nuclear power stations, subject to inspections and regulatory approvals, will help to sustain many of the fleet’s 5,000 jobs while maintaining vital nuclear skills.

Heysham 2 #nuclear power station is celebrating reaching an important milestone this week. 🎉 First connected to the grid in 1988, the station has now generated an impressive 300TWh of reliable, low-carbon electricity, all from a site smaller than a square mile! That’s the equivalent of powering every home in Lancashire for 147 years and is a testament to the professionalism, expertise and dedication of the Heysham 2 team. EDF is continuing to invest in nuclear to help reduce carbon emissions, secure the UK’s energy future and help Britain achieve #NetZero. Find out more: https://ow.ly/hEqu50SzrxB #NetZeroNeedsNuclear

Nuclear energy can play a vital role in helping Britain achieve #NetZero, providing a reliable and low-carbon energy source. At EDF, we’re investing in Britain’s existing nuclear power stations to sustain output at current levels, boost the UK’s energy security and cut carbon emissions. Additionally, new nuclear projects like Hinkley Point C and Sizewell C, expected to power 12 million homes once operational, will help secure the UK’s future energy supply. Our commitment to nuclear energy is a commitment to a cleaner, more secure energy future for the UK. Find out more: https://ow.ly/1Tck50SuyaH #NetZeroWeek
