The agreement means that Hinkley will get a new completion date of 2025, coming online adecade from now and two years later than planned. It is already well behind schedule after alengthy EU state aid inquiry, protracted talks on investment and the near failure of France'sAreva, which will supply the European Pressurised Reactor technology used in the plant. EDFexpects Hinkley's construction to be funded initially by equity. Industry insiders say thismeans it is unlikely to raise as much debt as envisaged originally and is, therefore, notexpected to draw heavily on public funds to underwrite that debt. The Treasury last monthagreed to provide a 2bn pounds infrastructure guarantee. While more funding may beavailable, EDF has no plans to request it.

根据该协议，欣克利角核电站的完工日期将改为2025年，也就是从现在起十年后入网运营，比原计划晚了两年。在此之前，经历了欧盟(EU)漫长的国家援助调查、围绕投资问题展开的旷日持久磋商以及法国阿海珐(Areva)濒临破产，该项目已大大落后于计划。阿海珐是该电站所用欧洲压水反应堆(European PressurisedReactor)技术的提供方。法国电力预计，欣克利角的初始建设资金将来自股本。

This week's accord is also expected to include a reference to future co-operation with theChinese on two further nuclear plants, Sizewell in Suffolk and Bradwell in Essex.
