Why it matters: The appointment comes at a crucial time, as Sizewell C prepares to bring in private investors and double its workforce to 2,000 people this year.
The details: Holland-Kaye, who joined as a non-executive director on 1 February, will become non-executive chair on 1 March, bringing significant experience in delivering major infrastructure projects, including Heathrow's Terminal 2, which was completed on time and on budget.
What they're saying: "We need nuclear power if we want a low carbon future, so I'm delighted to join Sizewell C, which will be at the heart of the energy transition," Holland-Kaye said.
"The project is uniquely well set up for success and can be a model for how we bring the private and public sectors together to deliver big infrastructure."
By the numbers:
The nuclear power station will provide zero carbon power to around six million homes
It will save nine million tonnes of carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere annually
The project will create 1,500 apprenticeships
Over 70% of construction value will go to British suppliers
What's next: An equity and debt-raising process is currently underway and is due to conclude in the spring, with a Final Investment Decision expected in the upcoming Spending Review.
The bottom line: Holland-Kaye replaces Rob Holden, who is stepping down due to health reasons, as the government-owned project moves towards securing private investment.
