Bouygues SA won a construction contract worth at least 1.7 billion euros ($1.8 billion) for the controversial Hinkley Point nuclear plant in the U.K. that will use the same technology as over-budget and delayed projects in France and Finland.
Bouygues will work with U.K. firm Laing O’Rourke on construction of the buildings that will house the two nuclear reactors, the Paris-based company said in a statement Wednesday.
