2. Corporate overview
Established in 2009 and acquired by Hitachi in November 2012
Established to help meet the need for new, secure low carbon power
Making steady progress past milestones for lead Wylfa Newydd project, with Oldbury to follow
Will deploy tried and tested Hitachi-GE ABWRs which have been built to time and budget in Japan
c.£20billion investment in the UK - up to 60% of project value could be spent in UK, creating opportunities for British businesses

3. Six Key Questions
It’s important that we’re clear about what we’re building
It must be investible
It must be acceptable to the host community – social licence

9. Wylfa Newydd: Site Location

10. Proposed Wylfa Newydd site
Wylfa is an excellent location for a new nuclear
power station:
It has vital infrastructure, including a connection to the national electricity grid.
Local area provides ideal ground conditions for a new power station.
It is sufficiently high above sea level to avoid serious flood risk and has good access to sea water for cooling purposes.
The nuclear heritage of Wylfa and Anglesey provides a strong skills and knowledge base necessary for the construction and operation of a new nuclear power station.

11. Project Location and Area
We use different terms to refer to where parts of our Project will be built:
• Power Station Site: This includes the two nuclear reactors, steam turbines, the cooling water system intake, outfall structures, breakwaters and the Marine Off-Loading Facility (MOLF)
• Wylfa Newydd Development Area: the indicative areas of land and sea including the Power Station Site, and the surrounding areas that will be used for construction and operation of the Power Station.
Existing Magnox Power Station which closed in December 2015

12. Off site Power Station Facilities and Associated Development
The Off-Site Power Station Facilities will be physically separate from, but local to, the Power Station Site and are an integral part of our emergency arrangements.
These include:
• Alternative Emergency Control Centre (AECC): to provide back-up command and communication facilities
• Environmental Survey Laboratory (ESL): to provide facilities to manage radiological surveys in the local area,
including radiation monitoring equipment controls
• Mobile Emergency Equipment Garage (MEEG): to house a number of specialist vehicles
ASSOCIATED DEVELOPMENT
Associated Development supports the delivery of the Power Station and includes:
• Off-Line highway improvements
• Park and ride facility
• Logistics Centre

13. Construction worker numbers
We anticipate a peak workforce of around
8,500
For the construction phase, we aim to recruit
workers from Anglesey and North Wales, although we anticipate that a significant proportion will need to be recruited from elsewhere.

14. Our commitments
To engage effectively with our host community of Anglesey and wider North Wales region, links to North West England
To develop and maintain our social license to operate
To minimise negative impacts and maximise benefits (construction)
To be a good neighbour
To protect and enhance Welsh language and culture
Supply Chain development – max. local content/work with Welsh Government, North Wales Economic Ambition Board
Benefits include economic, supply chain and jobs and skills

15. Project Benefits – Jobs and Skills
2016 Apprentices – 2nd year of scheme
2017 Apprentices – offers made to 12
‘Dyfodol/Futures’ Horizon – local education engagement programme
£1 million committed to the Grŵp Llandrillo Menai Engineering Centre, Anglesey
This is stuff we’re already doing – pre FID
Futures programme investment of £150K each year for next three years

16. Apprentices in Japan 11th – 23rd June 2017
Orientation at Akihabara Tokyo Office June 13

17. Update Supply Chain
Supply Chain Charter being updated to provide further clarity on expectations and requirements of the programme
Supply Chain Action Plan being developed to build on Supply Chain Charter
to enable the supply chain, clear understanding of requirements and opportunities
developed with input from stakeholders
identify key areas to target for opportunities in North Wales
continue readiness programme
share good performance
identify opportunities with stakeholders for joint working and support of ongoing programmes
development of procurement plan for various phases
Engagement strategy
networking events
once action plan and procurement plan complete and full understanding of construction programme a Supply Chain event/ meet the buyer event to be arranged
