Nuclear News – Late June 2025
Estimated reading time 1 minute
The South West’s long-delayed Hinkley Point C nuclear power plant has been given a £4.5bn boost from an international private capital group. The funding, from US giant Apollo Global, will give EDF, the French group behind the massive project, access to a new pool of private capital, so reducing its need to turn to the UK corporate debt market.
New York-headquartered Apollo Global Management, which has around $785bn (£584bn) of assets under management, said the transaction represented one of the largest sterling-denominated note issuances on record.
