Eggborough coal plant to close before next winter
One of Britain’s largest coal-fired power plants will shut down before the start of next winter after failing to clinch a crucial supply contract with the National Grid. The owners of the Eggborough power plant in North Yorkshire said it would not be economically viable for the 48-year-old plant to keep generating power after its current contract ends in September. The looming closure threatens to wipe out as many as 300 jobs, and cuts the UK’s power generating capacity by 5pc, or the equivalent amount of power needed by around two million homes.
