To secure French and Chinese investment, the government agreed in 2013 to pay £92.5 / MWh (now 0.11 EUR/kWh) of electricity – rising in line with inflation– for the first 35 years of the plant’s life. Critics say this now looks like a bad deal following the collapse in the wholesale price of energy in the last three years. Currently, £92.50 per MWh is more than twice the cost of wholesale electricity.

Englanti: 3,200 MW Hinkley Pointin ydinvoimalan rakentaminen alkaa
The French giant EDF Energy received the green light for the
construction of the first new nuclear power station in the UK in more than 20
years at Hinkley Point in Somerset. The project value is around 18
billion-pound ($23 billion) and the reactors are expected to generate 3,200
MWe, enough to meet approximately 7% of Britain's demand. [emp]
