Transformative plans for Fiddler’s Ferry power station have been drawn up by a new eco-friendly investor.
Peel NRE, which bought the plot of land in Warrington, has set out its transformative "masterplan" for the brownfield site which is the size of 410 football pitches. The green company intends to demolish the landmark power plant and replace it with new wildlife areas, parkland and housing.
Fiddler's Ferry and its eight cooling towers were decommissioned in 2022 in line with Government policy to phase out coal-fired facilities by 2025. The coal fired power plant dominated the Widnes skyline for 50 years and employed 158 workers the year before it was closed down.
