History
“Eggborough power station was a coal-fired power station in North Yorkshire, England, which was capable of co-firing biomass. It is situated on the River Aire, between the towns of Knottingley and Snaith, deriving its name from the nearby village of Eggborough. The station had a generating capacity of 1,960 megawatts, enough electricity to power 2 million homes, equivalent to the area of Leeds and Sheffield. The station closed in September 2018, but there are plans to replace it with a 2,500 megawatt gas power plant.
The station began generating power in 1967, making use of nearby coal-reserves. It was built for, and initially operated by the Central Electricity Generating Board. The station is currently undergoing demolition, with the remaining four cooling towers scheduled for explosive demolition in late 2021.”
