Cape is pleased to announce that a formal signing ceremony has taken place with EDF Energy for the 5 year contract extension that was announced on Monday 29 December 2014. The contract, which has a total value of £150m, will see Cape continuing to supply access, insulation and associated services in support of EDF Energy's fleet of eight nuclear power stations in the UK.

This substantial contract, which extends Cape's long standing relationship with EDF Energy, encompasses the supply of specialist access and thermal insulation services for an additional five years to 2021 in support of the fleet's maintenance, projects and statutory outage programmes, where the requirement for safety, reliability and innovation is paramount.

The signing ceremony, which took place yesterday morning, was part of an event hosted by EDF Energy in London during which EDF Energy announced a number of initiatives, including the extension of the expected life of its Dungeness B nuclear power station by ten years.
