Client: Horizon Nuclear Power - Working towards new nuclear

The UK needs significant investment over the course of the next decade to meet growing demands for energy.

The UK needs significant investment over the coming years to meet growing demands for energy. New nuclear power is a vital way to meet these needs.

Horizon Nuclear Power is a UK energy company developing a new generation of nuclear power stations. A wholly owned subsidiary of Hitachi Ltd., it plans to provide at least 5,200MW of new power station capacity to the UK, enough to power around 10 million homes.

Camargue has supported Horizon Nuclear Power in three main areas: establishing a communications function, supporting the launch of the brand within the UK and providing planning advocacy for a proposed new nuclear power station at Wylfa on Anglesey.

Our work has included supporting Wylfa’s inclusion in the Nuclear National Policy Statement, issues management and ongoing engagement with local communities and stakeholders across North Wales.

Client RWE npower: Keeping the lights on

With many older power stations closing soon, RWE npower is doing its bit to keep the nations lights on by developing plans for a number of new plants across the country.

Over the past six years Camargue has become an integral part of RWE npower’s communications team – with an Account Director seconded to the company for over a year - helping to build positive relationships with the communities living near seven ‘new build’ sites in England and Wales.

From developing and running IPC-compliant community consultation programmes to planning opening ceremonies hosted by government ministers; from managing the local and regional media to hosting hotlines for local residents; from communicating the delivery of traffic-stopping large loads to drafting copy for community newsletters, information packs and exhibition materials . . . we’ve managed every aspect of communications.

The account manager is Verity Barr.
