Syne the sale o British Energy to EDF in February 2009, plans for a further twin-unit reactor tae be built at Sizewell haes leukit increasingly likely.[1] Sizewell awready haes a connection agreement in place for a new nuclear pouer plant tae be built. The govrenment revealed that the 1,600 MW projected units, tae be cawd Sizewell C, wad, thegither with the planned units at Hinkley Point C, contribute 13% o UK electricity in the early 2020s.[1] EDF plans tae uise the EPR design for ony new-build reactors in the UK, this bein the design o reactor currently bein built in Finland, Fraunce an Cheenae.[1] EDF haed statit that the construction o Sizewell C is dependent on Hinkley C approval.

On the 18t October 2010, the Breetish govrenment announced that Sizewell wis ane o the echt sites whilk it consìdert confeerin for future nuclear pouer stations.[2] As o 2014 EDF Energy had not published a schedule for applyin for plannin permission.[3] On the 21t October 2015, it was reportit that Breetain an Cheenae haed reakit Strategic Investment Agreements for three nuclear pouer plants, includin ane at Sizewell,[4] though nae specific financin plans for Sizewell wis greed.[5] As o 2016, the seicont stage of the Sizewell C consultation is yet tae tak place.
