The current total projected cost is £87.6m. The UK Government has provided £53.5m towards these costs up to 2025-26 which have been assessed by previous UK Treasury decisions as necessary for the build. We are currently in discussions with UK Treasury around the remaining costs for operation.
The projected cost assumes that, after a short transitional period, all operational costs can be met from charges.
