Ironbridge Gorge Power Station

Ironbridge Gorge Power Station
The first power station on this site was Ironbridge A, built by the West Midlands Joint Electricity Authority and commissioned in 1932 with full 200 MW output achieved in 1939. Ironbridge B was commenced in 1963 and full 1000 MW capacity reached with the commissioning of the second 500 MW unit in February 1970. The A station was closed in 1981 and demolished in 1983. Currently operated by E.ON UK, Ironbridge has been opted out of the Large Combustion Plants Directive, which means the station will only be allowed to operate for up to 20,000 hours after 1 January 2008, and must close by 31 December 2015. It is served by a rail link that brings in up to seven coal trains a day.
