Salamanca Group, the London-based investment and real estate group will provide management and advisory services to Government and EDF on the delivery of enabling infrastructure for the UK’s next-generation new nuclear build, Sizewell C (SZC), based in Suffolk.

Salamanca Group are contracted to advise on the economic vision and legacy potential for the Sizewell new nuclear facility and the adjacent areas.

Salamanca Group’s strategy lead,  formerly Chief Planning Officer at Sedgemoor District Council (now Somerset Council), led the public sector response to planning and implementation for EDF’s Hinkley Point C, which was Europe’s largest infrastructure project at the time.

Sizewell C is expected to meet 7% of the UK’s energy needs for at least 60 years, powering low-carbon electricity supply for six million homes. The project will form a strategic driver to realisation of the UK’s net zero ambitions as well as provide a £4bn boost to the region and will support 70,000 jobs across the UK while relying on 3,000 UK-based suppliers.

Salamanca Group’s Director – Planning & Economic Development, Claire Pearce, commented: ” Major infrastructure projects such as Sizewell C can benefit from the knowledge of related projects to ensure that lessons learnt can then be applied to facilitate a smoother implementation process as well as optimise benefits and reduce impacts on communities. Advising on a project of national significance that is so central to the UK’s decarbonization efforts is testament to the in-house expertise that Salamanca Group can offer to such large-scale projects. Our team is proud to support SZC  in this capacity.”
