Background
Horizon is a UK energy companyformed in January 2009 by E.ON UK and RWE npower in a joint venture to develop new nuclear power stations in the UK. E.ON and RWE already jointly owned three nuclear power stations in Germany, with stakes in 17 others worldwide.[1]
In March 2012 however, the two companies announced their intention to withdraw from UK nuclear and seek new owners for Horizon.
Current activities
- Horizon is proposing to build a new nuclear power station on land next to the existing Wylfa A Power Station on Anglesey. The new power station would be expected to generate around 3,300 megawatts of low carbon electricity - enough to supply around five million homes.
- As part of the planning process for the project, we are seeking the views of the local community, the general public, local authorities and a range of statutory and other non-statutory bodies.
