What is the prospect for local employment during construction?
There will be a significant requirement for construction workers if new construction goes ahead at Dungeness. We estimate that up to 2,000 would be employed on site at the peak of construction activity, and would expect there to be opportunities for the local labour market to respond to the demand. The experience at Sizewell B, the last nuclear power station built in the UK, was that around 50% of the construction workers were recruited locally.
