State-owned Chinese company bids to build second UK nuclear plant London: A Chinese state-owned company blacklisted in the United States has applied to build a second nuclear plant in Britain amid growing concern in UK government’s ranks about Chinese investment in critical infrastructure.
China General Nuclear Power Group’s application creates a new headache for British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who is already facing a backbench revolt over his approval of Chinese firm Huawei to supply Britain’s 5G networks.
The UK does not have an investment review process like Australia’s Foreign Investment Review Board.
However, Johnson has flagged a tightening of foreign investment rules in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic and subsequent alarm about dependence on China.
GN, on Wednesday, submitted its planning application to build the Sizewell reactor in Suffolk, England with its French partner EDF.
The project, estimated to cost at least £20 billion ($37 billion) would be financed through private investment and construction would begin by the end of 2021 if approvals are given.
CGN’s initial stake in the project would be 20 per cent compared to EDF’s 80 per cent.
The same consortium was approved to build Britain’s Hinkley Point power station in 2016.
The then prime minister Theresa May temporarily halted the project over concerns about Chinese investment in critical infrastructure but eventually gave her go-ahead.
In August last year the Trump Administration placed CGN on the US entity list accusing it of acting contrary to American national security. The US has accused the company of stealing US nuclear technology for military use.
