In 2019, ENGIE Ineo Nuclear invested in Bristol to bring its extensive experience to the Hinkley Point C project dedicated to providing 7% of the UK’s electricity and help Britain to achieve net zero.
In 2021, the newly incorporated company secured a five-year £50+ million contract thanks to its unique capabilities. A significant part of this value will be reinvested in the local area through job creations and procurement with local industrial partners.
We believe the South West region brings great opportunities in terms of industrial challenges through massive projects currently being delivered, as well a reliable and experienced local network of industrial suppliers that we can rely on.
Moreover, the region and Bristol are great locations to live.

INNOVATIONS :
Thanks to its innovation spirit, ENGIE Ineo Nuclear has supported its industry sector through several innovations bringing value for money, economy of scale, safety, reliability and optimisation to its projects.
It has developed new full 3D in-house engineering and design tools allowing to optimise project design, quantities, supply management, installation works, commissioning, operation and maintenance. This new approach is based on ENGIE Ineo Nuclear’s extensive lessons learnt from on-site works management and design expertise, as well as collaborative database and on-site monitoring.
We also brought a newly green approach, innovations and cost performance to decommissioning issues through innovative ways of tackling our clients’ most critical challenges. This unique approach is based on refurbishment, reverse engineering, resale and recovery of equipment.
ENGIE Ineo Nuclear has also been able to develop what we call “maintenance engineering”: a new approach merging dozens of maintenance contracts into a single one while sharing risks with its clients.
