Funding for new build and decommissioning
Fiona ReillyNuclear Lead - Capital Projects and Infrastructure,PwC

• Funding nuclear new build
• Decommissioning and waste funding
3
Money!• New Build Investment
• Government – cash and guarantees
• Mankala/ Exceltium
• BOO (D)
• Equity
• Debt
• ECAs
• Revenue• CFDs
• PPAs
• Funds• Waste and decommissioning funds
• Security packages
4
Role of Government
• Historically government funded
• Move toward private sector development
• Costs so high need equity partition/ various debt options
• Continued government involvement – policy maker, rule of law, owner, insurer of last resort, guarantor of debt, support mechanism etc.
• UK – CFD and IUK Guarantee
• Decommissioning and waste management solution
5
Sharing risks Balancing regulatory and financing requirements
Government
Developer
Operator Co
Owner Co
Equity
EPC , FSA , LTSA etc
Debt
Commercial ECA
Offtaker
6
Payment cascade• Operating costs
• Decommissioning funds
• Debt repayments
• Profits – dividends
Decommissioning funds and fund management Prepayment – money deposited in separate
account to pay for decommissioning
External sinking funds (Nuclear Power Levy) – built up from a percentage of rates charged to consumers, held in trust fund.
Surety fund, letter of credit or insurance – to cover the decommissioning even if utility defaults
EBRD support funds established by EC and governments to support the closure and decommissioning of reactors where safety concerns – Bulgaria, Slovakia and Lithuania e.g. Kozloduy International Decommissioning Support Fund 1-4, also Chernobyl funds
Japan: Payments into external fund for disposal of HLW – administered and managed by Radioactive Waste Management Funding and Research Centre – levy 200 yen/Mwh on sales; each power company must establish its own reserve fund for decommissioning
Sweden – Swedish Nuclear Waste Fund (Kärnavfallsfonden): State controlled fund, paid into by Operators
Belgium: Internal funds managed by utility
Germany: Provisions made into internal funds managed by each utility
Finland: National Nuclear Waste Management Fund, managed by Ministry of Trade and Industry
France: EDF provisions in its accounts for funding, based on percentage of kWh sold
USA: Trust funds, funded by payment from ratepayers 0.1 to 0.2 cents/kWh, reporting to NRC
UK – FDPs: Operator established, ring-fenced, Nuclear Liabilities Funded Assurance Board

UK New Build Decommissioning
Nuclear site licensee must implement a Funded Decommissioning Programme (FDP) containing:
• A decommissioning and waste management plan (DWMP); and
• A funding arrangement plan (FAP)
Must be approved by the SoS
Audited initially and periodically by the Nuclear Liabilities Financing Assurance Board
9
Nuclear New Build - DWMP
• Clear structure
• Full decommissioning and waste management plan
• Robust cost estimates
• Conservative
• Contingency
• Risks
• Uncertainty
• Roles and responsibility set out
• Durable
• Updated
10
Nuclear New Build - FAP
• Establishing/ creating the Fund
• Structure and ownership
• Role
• Contributions waterfall over the life of the plant
• Management strategy
• Administering including making payments
• Winding up of the Fund and excess funds
• Tax and accounting analysis
• Other security packages available to deal with insufficiencies.
11
Nuclear New Build - Fund
• Fund independent of the owner/operator
• Insolvency remoteness
• Trust fund
• Managed
• Ensure sufficiency
• Restrictions on use of fund assets
• CNE security package
• Shortfalls covered by Operator
12
Conclusions• Complicated/ no one size fits all
• Equity
• Debt
• Role of government (guarantees/ PPAs/ CFDs ….)
• Revenue
• Funds
• One think for sure – without all of the above coming together there will be no new build project
13
Understanding of the nuclear market• We advise on nuclear new-build,
operational nuclear issues and on decommissioning and waste management
• We understand policy, regulatory and financing issues associated with the nuclear sector and why certain solutions are not universally applicable.
Mining
Conversion
Enrichment
Fabrication
Reactorconstruction
Power generation
Decommissioning
Storage
Reprocessing
Vitrification
Disposal
• We know participants and stakeholders across the globe
• We understand the risks faced by participants in different countries and different parts of the value chain
