Suffolk Chamber Supply Chain Engagement Working with Sizewell C
A new era in British energy security and clean growth begins as the UK Government gives Sizewell C its final investment decision (FID), unlocking the biggest investment in clean, homegrown energy in a generation and marking a major step in delivering secure, cheaper, low-carbon electricity for the UK.
This bold move marks a decisive step toward achieving net-zero emissions and low-carbon energy; in addition to electricity system savings of £2 billion a year on average once operational. Sizewell C will generate enough clean, reliable electricity to power around six million homes, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and strengthening the nation’s energy independence and resilience. The project will create thousands of skilled jobs and support a thriving supply chain, offering vast opportunities for businesses, particularly across the East.
Suffolk Chamber Supply Chain Engagement team, is playing a crucial role in ensuring local firms can access these opportunities, helping SMEs connect with Tier 1 contractors and prepare to meet the demands of major infrastructure delivery. This initiative is a blueprint for how regional economies can benefit directly from national investment, boosting local skills, prosperity, and long-term growth. With commitments to spend £4.4bn through the local and regional supply chain during construction, this is a generational opportunity for the business landscape to maximise upon.
