Rugeley Power Station :: SK0517

Rugeley A Power Station was commissioned in 1961 as a joint venture between CEGB and NCB using coal from the adjacent Lea Hall Colliery. The station was demolished in 1995.

The larger Rugeley B Power Station was commissioned in 1970 with 1000MW capacity. Recent developments have included a flue gas de-sulphurisation plant to extend the life of the facility. Rugeley Power Ltd have proposals to convert the station to use bio-mass.

River Trent

The River Trent is the third longest river in England (185 miles). It rises on Biddolph Moor, Staffordshire, then follows a generally north east to northerly path to join the River Ouse at Trent Falls. The Ouse & Trent combined form the Humber Estuary.
It is a very important river, economically having a number of Power Stations and industrial sites along its banks. It is navigable as far as Burton-On-Trent.
