The article is primarily about solar but there are a few references to nuclear specifically the Hinckley nuclear plant.
Clouds gather over solar power after golden years of successThe key to any debate about solar is cost – but assessing like-for-like figures is complex and hotly disputed. The price of energy from any new Hinkley nuclear reactors has been pinned at £92.50 per megawatt hour (MWh) over a 35-year period.
By comparison, Lightsource says it won a “contract for difference” deal in a recent auction under a government scheme at the competitive subsidy price of £79.82 over 15 years. But Decc estimated in 2013 that large solar will generally cost about £160 per MWh, offshore wind £115 – and gas only £80.
