British Gas owner Centrica is poised to acquire a 15% stake in the UK's Sizewell C nuclear power project in Suffolk, marking a significant step in the nation's energy strategy.

The move comes as stakeholders aim to reach a final investment decision before Parliament's summer recess on July 21.

The Sizewell C plant, designed to mirror the Hinkley Point C facility, is a central component of the UK's plan to enhance energy security and meet climate targets.
