answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/10/2016 answer text <p>Under the contract for difference, if Hinkley Point C does not start generating electricity four years after 2025 then there will be reductions to the contract term. This means that for every day that Hinkley is late, the period of time where EDF is getting increased certainty on the price of electricity generated from Hinkley is reduced. If neither reactor at Hinkley is generating electricity by 2033, there is an option to cancel the contract.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 10/10/2016 16:31:58 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman previous answer version 13097 answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
