C3 Communications worked with newcleo’s project team from August 2023 until the suspension of the UK project was announced in July 2025.

STEP is one of C3’s biggest projects so far, with both Saranne and Pippa working in different areas. 

Integrity is doing the right thing even when no one is watching, so the saying goes.  With changes expected to The Planning Act 2008 around the requirements for engagement, this will be a useful mantra for energy and infrastructure leaders to keep in mind. 

I've worked in energy, mostly the nuclear industry, for nearly 20 years. During that time, I've been fortunate enough to have worked in lots of different organisations, from decommissioning old nuclear power stations, to supporting the construction of new ones and working in fusion too! 

“Communities are at the heart of the government’s mission to make Britain a clean energy superpower."   Secretary of State for Energy Security & Net Zero, Ed Miliband, highlighted the importance of community engagement in his Statement of Strategic Priorities to Great British Energy.  At C3 Communications, this is a subject very close to our hearts. So, we thought we’d take the opportunity to introduce ourselves and, more importantly, the mission driving our work.
