David cameron and President Xi Jingping are expected to sign a deal this afternoon agreeing to Chinese investment in a new nuclear power station in Somerset.
It will be largest inward investment ever in the UK. France's EDF and CGN, a Chinese nuclear consortium, are poised to agree to build the plant,
The UK government has been criticised for guaranteeing the price that will be paid for any electricity the new Hinkley Point reactor produces.
This is the so-called strike price. The government has maintained all along that it will not provide any public subsidies to the nuclear industry.
How does the price work in practice? In essence, the government has guaranteed EDF a price of £92. 50 per megawatt hour (Mwh),
or £89. 50 if EDF develops another new reactor in Sizewell, Suffolk. This simply reflects the fact that EDF's costs will be lower per reactor
If the market price of electricity falls below this level, the government has said in effect it will make sure EDF receives the difference between the two prices.
The wholesale price of electricity at the moment is about £45/Mwh. If the wholesale price remains at this level
then EDF will receive an additional £47. 50/Mwh. In practice, this money will not come from taxpayers (that would count as a subsidy),
but from consumers of electricity. The strike price works the other way as well-EDF has to refund the difference
if the price of electricity is above £92. 50/Mwh. For example, if the wholesale price is £110/Mwh,
then it has to refund £18. 50/Mwh. Again, this money goes back to bill payers, not to the government.
But why the need for any guaranteed price? Nuclear reactors cost a lot of money, and EDF wants to build two of them.
The final bill for just Hinkley is estimated at £24. 5bn. Even for a massive company like EDF, this is a huge investment,
which makes it inherently risky. For example, if the price of electricity falls, or becomes more volatile,
the company could lose a lot of money. And because the plant would take 10 years to build,
there is simply too much uncertainty to commit to such a huge investment without such comfort, investors would argue.
For this reason, EDF needs an added incentive to build the reactors. Knowing it will receive a guaranteed price for the electricity generated at Hinkley provides some kind of certainty that the investment will be worthwhile-in other words, profitable.
For its part, the government has been unable to play different energy companies off against each other, as German power giants RWE and E on decided long ago against building new plants in the UK.
It has, therefore, been forced to negotiate with EDF. But this doesn't mean EDF holds all the cards-the company is desperate to get Hinkley Point C started so it can serve as a blueprint for similar power stations across the world.
So what does it mean for bills? Until we know the price of electricity on the open market
when Hinkley Point C starts generating power, we simply won't know if it is a good or bad deal.
If the electricity price is below the strike price, then bills will probably be higher than they would otherwise be.
Conversely, if it is above the strike price, then bills would be lower. It will also depend on the energy mix at the time.
In other words, how much of your electricity is generated by nuclear power. At the moment, almost 20%of the UK's power is generated by nuclear reactors

Considering that the feature can only be used on the new iphones we think that's indicative of exceptional momentum.
Even with mediocre results, that adds up to a lot of payment volume in aggregate. Android mobile wallets are benefiting from Apple Pay:
