A new nuclear power partnership between Germany’s two largest utility companies will create over 11,000 new permanent and temporary jobs in the UK over the next decade and a half.

E.ON and RWE npower have teamed up to form Horizon Nuclear Power with a 50% stake each. Between them the parent companies E.ON and RWE already have stakes in 23 nuclear energy stations - some in their home country and others in Sweden.

The newly created company will pump £15 billion into the energy industry in the UK and will create thousands of permanent and temporary jobs in both the pre-launch and post-launch stages.

Horizon Nuclear Power have bought land on two sites where nuclear energy sites already exist - Oldbury-on-Severn, in Gloucestershire and Wylfa, in Anglesey. The two new sites, which are expected to be ready for action in around 2020, could produce enough energy between them to power the whole of London.

The company forecasts that the two new nuclear power stations could create 1,600 permanent jobs and around 10,000 temporary positions over the next 15 years – many of them in the actual construction of the reactors.
