Major Chinese investments in the United Kingdom
1. Hinkley Point C Nuclear Power Station
Total investment: 14 billion pounds ($21 billion)
Timeframe: Operation to commence in 2023 if built on time
Chinese investors: A combined 30 to 40 percent stake in the consortium from China General Nuclear Power Group and China National Nuclear Corp
The two planned reactors are at Hinkley Point C in Somerset.
The project is awaiting a final investment decision after the European Commission gave its project approval in October.
Cooperation between EDF Group of France, the lead investor, and its Chinese partners on Hinkley Point C was first announced by British Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne when he visited China in October.
In March, EDF signed a global partnership in the nuclear field with China General Nuclear during President Xi Jinping's visit to France.
Nigel Cann, Hinkley Point C construction director with EDF Energy, says its Chinese partners can bring valuable experience from the construction of nuclear projects in China.
