To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, what estimate she has made of the National Grid transmission charges likely to be applied to Hinkley Point C when that power station is operational.

Andrea Leadsom

It is the Generator who has estimated the transmission charges applicable to Hinkley Point C during operation. The Strike Price has been calculated on the basis of NNBG’s projected construction and operating costs, including a non-guaranteed reasonable profit, with NNBG’s costs having been substantiated and independently verified.
