Sizewell and Environment Agency

The Environment Agency will take the helm as Lead Environmental Regulator,

acting as a single point of contact to coordinate streamlined, joined-up
advice. This will cut costs and minimise delays, without compromising
environmental standards. Sizewell C will supply six million homes with
clean, British nuclear energy – reducing reliance on foreign imports and
protecting families from future energy bill spikes. At the peak of its
construction, the multi-billion-pound project will provide around 17,000
direct and indirect jobs, alongside 1,500 apprenticeships that will boost
the economy. Lighthouse Green Fuels is the first major refinery project in
the UK for decades and is set to become Europe’s largest
second-generation sustainable aviation fuel plant, producing enough fuel
for 27,000 flights each year. The project will create 2,000 construction
jobs in Teesside and support 3,400 supply chain roles across the UK –
establishing a new, green industry and providing communities in some of
Britain’s industrial heartlands better access to the well-paid jobs of
the future.
