EDF Energy cuts jobs at Hinkley Point C nuclear project

摘要

EDF Energy, the firm developing the first of Britain's new nuclear power plants at Hinkley Point in Somerset has confirmed that it is downsizing the number of people working on the project. The energy company said it had taken the decision to downsize as a way of controlling costs. It is understood that 150 jobs were cut from the project last month, bringing the project headcount down to 800, with further jobs now to be culled. EDF would not say how many further jobs would be lost but it is understood that the losses will be focused on job support, construction and procurement staff.
