answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/03/2014 answer text <p>EDF's current aim is for the Hinkley Point C nuclear power station to begin generating electricity in 2023. The UK Government and EDF Group reached commercial agreement on the key terms of a proposed investment contract for the Hinkley Point C, details of which were published on 21 October 2013. Furthermore, the publication of the Opening Decision on the Hinkley Point C State aid case by the European Commission is another important step forward in the consideration of the case and an investigation is a standard part of the State aid process for cases like Hinkley. The Commission have opened a public consultation on 7<sup>th</sup> March 2014 on their Opening Decision and Government welcome all to participate in this.</p><p> </p><p>No date has been set for Sizewell C to begin generating electricity. But EDF completed last year the first stage of the local consultation which is necessary before an application for development consent can be made.</p> answering member printed Baroness Verma question first answered 24/03/2014 12:00:00 answering member 3790 label Biography information for Baroness Verma
