EDF says it is not planning to extend the life of its West Burton A coal fired power station in Nottinghamshire, which will close at the end of this month.
The Government had spoken to the French energy giant about keeping the plant on standby through next winter in case of the fuel emergency caused by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine intensified.
However EDF said the site – between Lincoln and Doncaster – “will close as planned” at the end of this month.
