The document discusses EDF Energy's plans to build the Hinkley Point C Power Station in Somerset, England. It will use two European Pressurized Reactors to generate 3.2 gigawatts of low-carbon electricity, providing power for over 5 million homes for 60 years and avoiding 10 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions annually. The project will generate 25,000 construction jobs and 900 long-term operations jobs, investing over £100 million annually in the local economy during peak construction. EDF Energy will work with the local community and prioritize local hiring and business opportunities to ensure local benefits from the new nuclear power station.
