answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/10/2014 answer text <p>The Hinkley Point C strike price in 2012 prices is £89.50/MWh indexed to the Consumer Price Index. This price benefits from upfront reduction of £3/MWh built in on assumption that EdF will be able to share first of a kind costs of EPR reactors across Hinkley Point C and Sizewell C sites. If the final investment decision is not taken on Sizewell C, the Strike Price for Hinkley Point C will be £92.50/MWh in 2012 prices. The Department has not restated the strike price in October 2014 prices.</p> answering member constituency West Suffolk answering member printed Matthew Hancock question first answered 24/10/2014 13:29:44 answering member 4070 label Biography information for Matt Hancock

These arrangements would be supported by an agreement between my rt. hon.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/11/2014 answer text <p>There is no cap in the contract for difference for Hinkley Point C on the operator’s liability for decommissioning costs.</p><p> </p><p>The Government’s policy is that operators of new nuclear power stations must have arrangements in place to meet the full costs of decommissioning and their full share of waste management and disposal costs. This policy is being implemented through a framework created by the Energy Act 2008. The Energy Act requires operators of new nuclear power stations to have a Funded Decommissioning Programme approved by the Secretary of State in place before construction of a new nuclear power station begins and to comply with this programme thereafter.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency West Suffolk answering member printed Matthew Hancock question first answered 14/11/2014 12:11:02 answering member 4070 label Biography information for Matt Hancock
