at the moment, we've got three consortia (and probably a fourth) each putting up several hundred millions to buy the rights to develop one or more of the UK licensed sites.
- EdF:CGNPC:CNNPC:Areva for Sizewell and Hinkley Point ( in the ratio 51:20:20:9. Each site is 2x1600MW EPR
- Hitachi (100%) for Wylfa and Oldbury. Each site is 2x 1300MW ABWR
- Toshiba (60%) and GdF-Suez (40%) for Moorside The site is 3x1100MW AP1000
- and it's looking increasingly likely that a CNNPC:CGNPC consortium is buying Bradwell to build at least 2x1400MW CAP1400

Summary:
Actual demand for electricity in 2012 was 35.8GW on average, and 57.49GW at its peak. Planned new nuclear reactor builds will generate 15.525GWe, with a possible addition of 3GWe more (at Bradwell). By 2024 all other nuclear plants apart from Sizewell B should've closed. Add Sizewell B at 1198 MW. Apply a 90% capacity factor, the UK could expect 17.008 GWe of nuclear electricity by the late 2020s.
| Consortium | Site | Locale | Type | # | Capacity (MWe gross) | Start | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| EDF Energyn | Hinkley Point C | Somerset | EPR | 2 | 1650 | 3300 | 2015 |
| EDF Energyn | Sizewell C | Suffolk | EPR | 2 | 1650 | 3300 | 2017 |
| Horizon | Wylfa Newydd | Wales | ABWR | 2 | 1380 | 2760 | 2019 |
| NuGeneration | Moorside | Cumbria | AP1000 | 3 | 1135 | 3405 | 2020 |
| CNNPC | Bradwell | Essex | Hualong-1 | 2 | 1150 | 2300 | 2022 |
| Horizon | Oldbury B | Glos | ABWR | 2 | 1380 | 2760 | 2025 |
| Total | 13 | 17825 | |||||
Current nuclear power gross capacity is up to 9190 MWe, with 490 MWe (Wylfa) due to close before the end of 2015.
