Are the Sizewell C financing arrangements a model for other European countries?

Steve Thomas, Presentation to AT OM Day, May 22, 2026, TUB, Berlin

Government claimed Sizewell RAB could be funded by
institutional investors, mostly UK-based.

Government took 49.5%,
institutional investors 23%, UK private investors 15%/. Government talked
about seeking a balance of risk & reward between investors & consumers, but
risk is with consumers/taxpayers, rewards are with investor. The government
strategy appears to have been to offer whatever terms were needed with no
regard for cost & risk to the public. Still, investors will only finance
half the cost. The model will not be used again so the huge effort
completing the Sizewell deal was wasted
