Construction of the U.K.'s 3,300-MW Hinkley Point C nuclear power plant could run 15 months beyond the original 2025 completion deadline and cost 25% more than originally budgeted in 2015. That could drive the cost to as much as $27.9 billion.
Europe’s two other plants based on the same French Evolutionary Power Reactor (EPR) are both more than 10 years late in Finland and France.
