The UK government has put the brakes on its approval for the GBP 18 billion (USD 24 billion) Hinkley Point nuclear power station, UK officials confirmed on Friday, just hours after EDF reached a final investment decision (FID) on the project.
The government, which has made repeated affirmations of its commitment to Hinkley Point over the past few years, was expected to sign off on the project as soon as EDF’s board reached the long-awaited decision.
