The delayed multi-billion pound Hinkley Point nuclear power station will definitely go ahead, the head of French giant EDF assured MPs today.
Vincent de Rivaz, chief executive of the firm behind the project, admitted it had been a “long road”, but insisted confidence in the £18 billion project remained.
He told the Energy and Climate Change Committee “clearly and categorically“ Hinkley Point C will be built.
French economy minister Emmanuel Macron has said EDF will make a final investment decision on Hinkley Point in early May.
