| |
NPower's
Restoration |
What NPower have done to restore previous infilling, which was carried
out with a different set of regulations, can never be applied to the latest
infilling, but this point seems to have escaped BBOWT and others who raised
no objections because "mitigation" was considered to be sufficient. |
| |
PFA and NPower's options |
This sets out the facts about Didcot's lack of imagination in recycling
the PFA which they produce. Consistently they have said "We are
in the business of generating electricity, not selling Ash" However,
as all business have to diversify to maintain growth, NPower have missed
out on opportunities by continuing with their blinkered approach.
Unfortunately, HM Government has done nothing to persuade Power Generators
to clean up their acts. RWE threaten the closure of Didcot Power Station
if they don't get their way and dump the ash at Radley. However, the
price of wholesale gas is now in negative figures due to the recently opened
pipeline from Scandinavia and Gas is now cheap again - Not that the consumer
will see any of the rewards for the drop in price! and RWE has a Gas
Powered Station right next door to the Coal Burning Station which is also
able to burn gas. |
| |
Fiddlers
Ferry Power Station can do it |
Why can't NPower enter into the same sort of joint venture agreement,
or are NPower too blinkered and too dogmatic to look at what is going on
around them? |
