The USA’s APOLLO’s private stock giant 4.5 billion pounds will provide debt financing to support the Hinkley Point nuclear project in the United Kingdom, in a deal that helps reduce financial pressure on the main development.

People familiar with this issue said that financing the degree of investment will be provided with an unaccounted debt at a rate of just less than 7 percent.

Funding for other UK projects can be used by EDF -owned French Electricity Group, but Hinkley Point is expected to be the primary goal of the debt package.

Finance meets a major financing gap for the nuclear project, which has suffered from fixed costs. It was expected that it would cost 18 billion pounds and be completed in 2025, but the estimated cost swamped to approximately 46 billion pounds and the date of starting it again until 2029.
