The Department of Energy and Climate Change has been criticised for releasing an infographic demonstrating how much more land would be required for solar power to match the output of the Hinkley Point C nuclear plant.

The price per megawatt hour of generated electricity at Hinkley Point C could reach £92.50 if EDF does not go ahead with the Sizewell C nuclear power station.
