Eggborough power station
A NEW deal has secured a 12-month lease of life for Eggborough Power Station bringing an extra year of employment for 235 workers.
The power station, near Selby, was due to cease generation from March 31 this year with the loss of 262 jobs.
However bosses at Eggborough Power Ltd have today signed a contract to provide extra power capacity for the National Grid during the winter of 2016/17.
The Supplemental Balancing Reserve (SBR) contract covers 775MW of capacity to be delivered by two of Eggborough’s four units.
