    No it is not first time, not for UK, and not for the company EDF building it. They have working plants in France, but the latest of those were delayed too.
    So not being the first time is no guarantee. You can have delays on similar kinds of projects many times.
    I’m sorry, but don’t find your schadenfreude is funny, considering this is a crucial part for UK to reduce CO2.

        In hindsight absolutely, but had it worked as planned, it was probably OK.
        AFAIK there have been calculations that show Wind turbines would have been better.
        Still it would obviously be better to have the plant working than not working.
