HC Deb 18 March 1969 vol 780 c52W
53. Mr. Woof

asked the Minister of Power what are the latest estimates of the generating and capital costs of the nuclear power station Dungeness B in view of the fact that the first reactor will be 22 months late.

Mr. Freeson

The Central Electricity Generating Board's latest estimate of the construction cost is £83 per kW. As my right hon. Friend told my hon. Friend, the Member for Bassetlaw (Mr. Ashton) on 13th March [Vol. 779, c. 355] the Board's present estimate of the base load generating cost is 0.56d. per unit.
