Notes to Editors

  • The total life extensions announced since December 2024 are expected to add up to 60TWh total, or 12TWh at Centrica’s 20% share (of which 3TWh relates to today’s announcement).
  • This latest lifetime extension is the most likely view.
  • These dates are forecasts, and the precise dates will be determined by the results of regular graphite inspections and how those results are interpreted by the operator, and by the independent regulator, the Office for Nuclear Regulation.
  • End of generation dates are kept under review and revised based on the best information available at the time.
  • Decisions on end of generation dates for nuclear power stations in the UK are independent of the regulator or government and are taken by the licensee board following recommendations.
  • The decision on the change of generation dates for the two stations was taken following a licensee board meeting on 1 September 2025.
  • The results of inspections of the graphite cores during 2025 have supported the decision to extend station lifetimes.
