Horizon Nuclear Power

Formed in 2009
Acquired by Hitachi in 2012
HQ in Gloucester, currently 130
staff, growing to around 400 in the
next few years
4 years of data and experience
from site development
Our mission is to build a new,
leading, UK nuclear utility
company, successfully developing,
constructing and operating
Advanced Boiling Water Reactors
at Wylfa and Oldbury

Nuclear in the Current UK energy mix

Nuclear power represents between 15-20 % of the power

being put into the UK grid at any time.

Nuclear in the Future UK energy mix

All gas cooled nuclear plants (7.5
GW) scheduled to close by 2023
Leaving Sizewell B as the only
operating station.
UK needs around 60GW of new
generating capacity by 2025
Estimated 200bn investment in new
power infrastructure
Expected contribution of around
16GW from new nuclear

affordable for UK government

and consumers
low-carbon and sustainable (2050
carbon target)
strategically secure

Transition

Horizon has been operating as a standalone development company

The organisation will transition to a Nuclear operator, and Site Licence holder
The Site Licence Company will remain in place throughout the full life cycle of

the plant
Joining the global community (WANO, WNA, BWR Users Group)
Recruitment underway. Team set to double in next 12 18 months
Attracting high quality personnel at every level from Directors to graduate

Generic Design Assessment (GDA)

HGNE is GDA requesting party, Horizon is
supporting

GDA timeframe: 4 step process

Initial steps began January 2013,

Step 1 - Assessment agreements signed March
2013
Step 2 overview of basic acceptability of the
proposed reactor design construction in the
UK, expected end of 2013
Increased public engagement alongside Step 2
Target completion of final design acceptance
(Step 4), in 2017

I am pleased to be
asking the regulators to
assess the ABWR
through GDA. The
application is an
exceptional one. It is an
application for GDA of a
reactor design which has
already been in operation
elsewhere in the world

Horizons advice to supplier community

Register your business on the Horizon
Registration Portal
www.horizonnuclearpower.com/suppliers

Consider what you can bring to our

project, highlight this in registration
Consider your supply chain position
your route to work might be through
sub-contracting opportunities
Think about strategic partnering and
collaboration
If you are a supplier of goods and
services in Wales. Make your
company visible and ready to be
accessed - Horizon, HGNE and our
potential strategic suppliers via
Sell2Wales www.sell2wales.gov.uk

Supply chain approach

Intend to maximise the potential opportunities
for Wales & UK significant in time
Suppliers must meet expectations on time,
cost, quality and readiness
Delivery will be a tiered approach modest
quantity of direct contracts with Horizon
Horizon will have an Engineering,
Procurement & Construction (EPC) contract
with HGNE
Potential for UK to supply up to 60% of first
reactor
UK Government initiatives to maximise supply
chain and skills opportunities (e.g. Nuclear
Industrial Strategy)
