2025 Progress Update Hinkley Point C
Hinkley Point C has today unveiled its End of Year film, offering a rare glimpse into the work that happens after dark on Britain’s biggest infrastructure project.
In the video, Project Construction Director Rob Jordan takes viewers behind the scenes of the night shift that keeps the site moving 24/7.
14,000 people are working around the clock to deliver Britain’s first nuclear power station in more than 30 years. 4,600 companies from across Britain have also played their part and stand ready to deliver future projects like Sizewell C.
Some of the project's most impressive milestones happen at night. In July, the world’s largest crane, Big Carl lifted the 245-tonne domed roof onto the second reactor building. Four huge Steam Generators have also been installed, ready to use heat from the reactor to drive the Arabelle turbine.
With most buildings complete across the site, focus has shifted to the task of fitting them out with thousands of pipes, cables and critical systems that will bring the station to life. Every night, construction teams keep progress on track - supported by catering, cleaning and emergency response crews who keep them safe.
Rob Jordan sums it up: “This site never sleeps - just like the power station when it’s finished. Our electricity will power Britain around the clock for decades to come. Night and day, winter to summer, rain or shine. Together, we’re building an Electric Britain.”
When complete, Hinkley Point C will generate enough low-carbon electricity to power 6 million homes for 60 years, helping secure Britain’s energy future.
