UK approves final investment decision for Sizewell C nuclear plant

The UK Energy Secretary has signed the final investment decision for Sizewell C, marking a pivotal moment in Britain's pursuit of clean energy independence. With an initial 44.9% stake, the government becomes the project's single largest equity shareholder. This decision will propel the UK towards its goal of securing home-grown nuclear supply well beyond 2030 and support thousands of jobs nationwide. Sizewell C is poised to provide power for 6 million homes and create 10,000 jobs once operational. It will generate 1,500 apprenticeships, with 70% of construction contracts going to British businesses. Energy Secretary Ed Miliband stated: 'It is time to do big things and build big projects in this country again - and today we announce an investment that will provide clean, homegrown power to millions of homes for generations to come. 'This government is making the investment needed to deliver a new golden age of nuclear, so we can end delays and free us from the ravages of the global fossil fuel markets to bring bills down for good.' This development propels forward the nation's mission to become a clean energy superpower by reducing reliance on fossil fuels. The plant promises cheaper, clean electricity for at least 60 years, potentially saving the UK's electricity system £2bn annually. The project investors include La Caisse with 20%, Centrica with 15%, Amber Infrastructure with 7.6% and EDF with 12.5% ownership. The National Wealth Fund makes its debut in nuclear financing by providing most of the debt finance. This is supported by a proposed £5bn debt guarantee from Bpifrance Assurance Export, France's export credit agency. The government will fund Sizewell C using a regulated asset base (RAB) model, which promises regulated, risk-adjusted returns. The investment agreement leverages insights gained from the construction of Hinkley Point C to establish a funding model that distributes the £38bn cost of constructing Sizewell C among consumers, taxpayers and private investors, with a 20% cost-saving strategy. International Public Partnerships (INPP) has committed £250m ($336m) total equity to the regulated entity managing Sizewell C, securing a 3% equity stake. INPP plans to invest £50m annually up to 2030. "UK approves final investment decision for Sizewell C nuclear plant" was originally created and published by Power Technology, a GlobalData owned brand.

How Mike Lynch shielded his family fortune from £700m fraud ruling

After winning his freedom last year, Mike Lynch was relaxed about the prospect that he might become personally penniless. The British software tycoon had faced the prospect of decades in prison before he defeated criminal fraud charges in a San Francisco trial, and described winning the case as being granted a 'second life'. The prospect of signing his wealth away to Hewlett-Packard (HP), the tech giant that was pursuing him for billions in the English courts, paled in comparison to ending his life behind bars. But Lynch was breezy about the prospect for another reason: a large portion of the Lynch family fortune was held in his wife Angela Bacares's name, shielding it from any legal repercussions. 'My wife has been very good at investing in the things that I've told her to from a point of view of technology. We've done very well,' Lynch said in an interview after he was acquitted. 'It's not a perilous situation.' Just a few weeks later, Lynch and his daughter Hannah died when the entrepreneur's superyacht, Bayesian, capsized off the coast of Sicily, a tragedy that Bacares herself survived. But the decision for Bacares to hold much of the wealth in her name now looks like a wise move. On Tuesday, a judge ruled that HP was owed almost £740m from Lynch and his business partner Sushovan Hussain over the fraudulent sale of their software giant Autonomy 14 years ago. With Mr Hussain having settled privately, Lynch's estate is on the hook for the majority of the damages. Valued by lawyers at $450m (£333m) during his US trial, the fortune in Lynch's estate would be wiped out by the judgment. An appeal by Lynch's legal team is likely. But even if the estate is bankrupted, Bacares is sitting on a fortune worth hundreds of millions owing to the way the pair divided the proceeds of Lynch's endeavours. American-born Bacares, 58, worked on Wall Street and in the City of London before her and Lynch were engaged in 2001 and married the following year. She has not made any public comments since her husband's death, beyond a brief message from the Lynch family stating they are 'devastated'. But her name has featured regularly in stock market filings, company records and court documents. While Lynch made around £500m from selling Autonomy, Bacares, who was occasionally an employee at the company, sold £15.6m of shares. By the time Lynch's next venture, cybersecurity company Darktrace, made it to the public markets, Ms Bacares was the dominant shareholder. She owned 12.8pc of the company at the time of its London flotation, compared to a 4.9pc stake owned by Lynch. Bacares and Lynch had both sold the majority of their stakes by the time Darktrace was bought by private equity firm Thoma Bravo for $5.3bn last year – netting hundreds of millions of pounds. She is also one of the biggest shareholders in Luminance, a legal AI company backed by Lynch's venture capital firm, that has raised more than $115m. Company filings also show her listed as a director at Bunhill Partners, a now defunct algorithmic trading. The couple's personal assets were also held in her name, including Loudham Hall, the Suffolk estate where they lived, and Bayesian itself. The superyacht, raised only last month, was owned by Revtom Limited, of which Bacares was the only shareholder. This may now present its own legal complications. Families of those who perished on Bayesian, including cook Recaldo Thomas and Lynch's lawyer, Chris Morvillo, are seeking compensation from the insurance company that covered the vessel. Hewlett-Packard, now known as HPE, could also theoretically pursue Bacares if there is a shortfall from the fraud case, although the optics of going after his widow would be questionable. Even if Lynch's estate is wiped out, his family are likely to be well looked after. Broaden your horizons with award-winning British journalism.

BCG says some of its staff circumvented its controls in Gaza work

BCG says some of its staff circumvented its controls in Gaza work By Stefania Spezzati and Andrew MacAskill LONDON (Reuters) -An investigation commissioned by Boston Consulting Group has found that some of its U.S.-based staff sidestepped its risk controls to do work related to the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation and to "post-war reconstruction" for the Palestinian enclave, the consulting firm said. In a response to a British parliamentary committee inquiry published on Thursday, BCG detailed the role some of its staff played in establishing GHF during late 2024 and early this year, and then the efforts made by one of its managing directors to carry out further work in March. GHF is a U.S.- and Israeli-backed organisation that began delivering humanitarian supplies to Palestinian civilians in Gaza in May, bypassing traditional aid channels including the United Nations. Its operations have been beset by violence and chaos including deadly shootings of scores of Palestinians near its food distribution sites guarded by Israeli forces, Reuters has reported. The U.N. and other humanitarian groups have refused to work with GHF, questioning its neutrality and criticising the new distribution model as militarising aid and forcing displacement of Palestinians. "We deeply regret that, in connection with the work about which the committee has asked, we did not live up to our standards," BCG said in its July 22-dated response to the parliamentary committee inquiry. BCG's role in the setting up of GHF dragged the firm into controversy and raises questions over its internal risk processes and controls. Its decision not to publish the full investigation could lead to further questions about the level of that involvement. A "largely complete" review led by law firm WilmerHale had shown that "BCG's approval processes were circumvented" by now-former BCG staff, the Boston-based management consulting firm said, in relation to work carried out earlier this year. BCG said it "will not publish the findings of this investigation" by WilmerHale. BCG said a team led by two U.S.-based and now former employees "provided pro bono support" to establish GHF between October last year and January, including its subsidiary in Switzerland, and that such work was directed by a U.S.-based security contractor, Orbis Operations. BCG said the information provided by its staff related to the establishment of the foundation was "incomplete, inaccurate and/or untruthful". SECOND PROJECT Later in March, a BCG employee started "a second, for-fee, project related to the operational and logistical effort to deliver aid", and entered into a contract with U.S.-based private equity firm, McNally Capital. BCG said it cancelled the invoice for this project "as soon as we understood more about the scope and nature of the work." Representatives for McNally Capital did not immediately reply to requests for comment. A spokesperson for Orbis said that "Orbis's involvement was limited to feasibility work," without giving further details. Despite being told by BCG's risk officer not to engage in such a project, the same employee started a team to model "post-war reconstruction" scenarios, BCG said in its letter. He did not enter into a contract with any counterparty for this work, BCG said. "This unapproved work was shared and discussed on Signal" and "those communications were not maintained," the consulting firm said. BCG added that "the only UK-based organisation with which we understand the team interacted during this work was the Tony Blair Institute," referring to post-war scenario planning for Gaza. The Financial Times reported on July 4 that BCG had modelled the costs of "relocating" Palestinians from Gaza and that the Tony Blair Institute participated in a project to develop a post-war Gaza plan. A Tony Blair Institute representative said the firm "has had many calls with different groups on post-war reconstruction of Gaza but none have included the idea of forcible relocation of people from Gaza."
