Hinkley Point C gets over $6 billion in financing from Apollo
U.S.-based private capital group Apollo Global has committed £4.5 billion ($6.13 billion) in financing to EDF Energy, primarily to support the U.K.’s Hinkley Point C station. The move addresses funding needs left unmet since China General Nuclear Power Corporation—which originally planned to pay for one-third of the project—exited in 2023 amid U.K. government efforts to reduce Chinese involvement.
Lisa is the President of the American Nuclear Society and has been an active member, with leadership roles, since 2005.
With over 20 years of engineering education experience spanning pre-college to graduate studies, Marshall is the inaugural Director of Outreach, Retention and Engagement (starting in 2001), and the inaugural Assistant Extension Professor (starting in 2023) at North Carolina State University Department of Nuclear Engineering.
Marshall is co-principal investigator or education outreach director on several U.S. Department of Energy-funded consortia. Lisa teaches in the First-Year Engineering Program, co-directs the Study Abroad Program in Engineering and Social Sciences, and serves on the Working Council for the Women in Science and Engineering Program. She is the past chair of both the Association of Women Faculty and the Justice, Equity, Diversity & Inclusion Committee for the American Association of Geographers.
Lisa is a member of the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) Council of Advisers, NEA High-Level Group on Improving the Gender Balance in the Nuclear Sector, chairs the NEA Global Forum Working Group on Building a Pipeline of STEM Professionals, sits on the Task Force on Achieving Inclusivity and the Working Group on ‘Rethinking the Relationship between Nuclear Energy and the Society’.
Degrees held include a bachelor’s degree in interdisciplinary studies, master’s degree specializing in (nuclear) energy geography, graduate certificates in geography information systems, and engineering education. She is near completion of her doctoral degree in higher education specializing in equity-centered engineering. Lisa lives in Raleigh, NC with her husband Dr. John Bedward. She loves Pilates, everything science fiction, and traveling.
