Financing Sizewell C: The RAB Model with Julia Pyke PT2
from EIC Podcasts
In This Episode Our host, Stuart Broadley, sits down with Julia Pyke, Managing Director of Sizewell C, for a special two-part edition of the EIC Clearly podcast. In Part Two, Julia and Stuart take a deep dive into the regulated asset base (RAB) financing model and what it means for delivering one of the UK’s most critical energy infrastructure projects. Julia explains why traditional contract-for-difference models proved unfinanceable for new nuclear, how the RAB approach changes risk allocation between investors and consumers, and why schedule discipline and productivity are the real drivers of cost control. The conversation also explores what Sizewell C needs from its supply chain, how companies can engage with the project, and why local skills development, social value, and culture are central to procurement decisions. What Is the EIC? The Energy Industries Council (EIC) is one of the world’s largest energy trade associations. As a not-for-profit organisation, it supports more than 950 member companies involved in the global energy value chain. EIC operatesinternationally, with offices in London, Kuala Lumpur, Rio de Janeiro, Houston, Dubai, and soon, Berlin.It is energy agnostic, supporting all parts of the energy sector. From mature renewable onshore and offshore sectors like wind, solar and hydropower; to grid infrastructure and large nuclear; to hydrocarbon sectors like oil & gas, LNG, FPSO, decommissioning, upstream, midstream and downstream; to emerging low-carbon sectors like hydrogen, carbon capture, CCUS, energy storage, BESS, biofuels, SAF (sustainable aviation fuels), and geothermal.EIC provides a wide range of services, including access to global market intelligence, CAPEX and OPEX project data, consulting support, events, business development opportunities, and advocacy.
