The first entry is always the pin's source. Overall confidence is a weighted average of how firmly each reference supports the start and end times used above; a reference counts half as much for every 180 days older than the newest.
Given as scheduled, per the source: "the first 1.6 GW unit of its Hinkley Point C nuclear project in the UK is scheduled to start producing electricity in 2030".
World Nuclear News confirms EDF's announced delay, with Unit 1 "now unlikely to become operational before 2030" under a base-case scenario (optimistic 2029, pessimistic 2031), consistent with the pin's stored end-of-2030 delayed target.
New Civil Engineer's own headline, "Hinkley Point C's cost climbs to £35bn with confirmation Unit 1 will power up in 2030," published February 20, 2026, matches the pin's stored 2030 target and "delayed" dateConfidence, though the page itself could not be directly retrieved here.
Something missing or wrong? Say it in your own words: a link that backs this pin up, a different start or end date and why, or a fact it lacks or gets wrong. The AI checks it against this pin's sources, searches for better ones, and adds any page that backs you up. The pin's own sources still count most. A picture that shows something else, or shows it badly, is looked at too, and moved down or replaced.
