Background

Horizon is a UK energy company, a joint venture formed in January 2009 by e.on UK and RWE npower to develop new nuclear power stations in the UK.

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.
