Hinkley Point C: Electricity from new British nuclear power plant costs >15c/kWh

To put it in context, the current price of electricity from Octopus on a new contract is about 30p/kWh. These high prices are a historical anomaly due to the high price of gas in Europe, but still, I think it's relevant context.

I imagine this price is not strictly comparable to the one quoted in the article since it includes various additional factors such as tax, network costs etc

Renewable wind power comes in at a fraction of the cost.

It is always overlooked, though, that a nuclear plant can deliver its rated output whenever needed, day in, day out.
