This landmark decision is our Plan for Change in action.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are creating thousands of jobs, kickstarting economic growth and putting more money people\u2019s pockets.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Energy secretary, Ed Miliband said: \u201cWe will not accept the status quo of failing to invest in the future and energy insecurity for our country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need new nuclear to deliver a golden age of clean energy abundance, because that is the only way to protect family finances, take back control of our energy, and tackle the climate crisis.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is the government\u2019s clean energy mission in action- investing in lower bills and good jobs for energy security.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Julia Pyke and Nigel Cann, joint-managing directors of Sizewell C said: \u201cToday marks the start of an exciting new chapter for Sizewell C, the UK\u2019s first British-owned nuclear power plant in over 30 years. It\u2019s a privilege to be leading a project that will create over 10,000 jobs, secure Britain\u2019s energy future and revitalise the UK\u2019s nuclear industry.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe aim to showcase British infrastructure at its best \u2013 delivering a cleaner, more secure energy future for generations to come.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Warren Kenny, GMB regional secretary, said: \u201cSizewell C is absolutely vital if the UK is to hit net zero.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNuclear power is essential for clean, affordable, and reliable energy &#8211; without new nuclear there can be no net zero.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSizewell C will provide thousands of good, skilled, unionised jobs and we look forward to working closely with the government and Sizewell C to help secure a greener future for this country\u2019s energy sector.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecitb.org.uk\/about-ecitb\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Engineering Construction Industry Training Board<\/a> (ECITB) chief executive, Andrew Hockey, said: \u201cContractors, understandably, are reticent to invest in future talent when there is uncertainty around project statuses and timescales.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Government\u2019s commitment to the new nuclear build at Sizewell will give greater certainty to the sector for planning.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur own research published earlier this week, highlights that the size of the engineering construction industry (ECI) workforce in the nuclear sector could grow by 29% to more than 46,000 by 2030.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSteel erectors, electrical technicians and welders \u2013 critical skills for new nuclear build &#8211;
