It has eight Cooling Tower s and takes its water requirements from the River Mersey alongside. Since the deep mines in the Lancashire coalfield closed, all its coal is imported. One of its cooling towers collapsed on 13 January 1984 but has since been rebuilt. The station was buit by the CEGB but was transferred to Powergen PLC after privatisation. The station, along with Ferrybridge Power Station , a 1995MW coal-fired station in Yorkshire , was then sold to Edison Mission Energy in 1999, sold on to AEP Energy Services Ltd in 2001 and both were sold again in July 2004 to Scottish and Southern Energy for £136m. By 2008, Fiddlers Ferry will be fitted with a FGD (Flue Gas Desulphurisation) plant, significantly improving its green house gas emissions. It can be spotted from as far away as the Peak District . |
