In the 1960s, Ferrybridge C power station was opened with a generating capacity of 2 GW from four 500 MW sets; constructed by Central Electricity Generating Board (CEGB) in 1965; on privatisation in 1989 ownership was passed to Powergen, then to Edison Mission Energy (1999), then to AEP Energy Services (American Electric Power) (2001) and to SSE plc (2004). C power station closed in March 2016.
Two of the four units were fitted with flue-gas desulphurisation (FGD) plant in 2009. In 2013 SSE indicated that the power station would not comply with the Industrial Emissions Directive (2010/75/EU) requiring the plant's closure by 2023 or earlier. It has since been announced that the plant will be fully closed by March 2016.
Hope the pictures are ok for you.
Hopefully and fingers crossed I know someone really well who is on the decommissioning team so I hope to get inside a cooling tower and will hopefully get the pictures for you
Channels that link all the cooling towers
One of the channels and the walkway across
Cooling tower base
Supports and concrete mesh system
Conveyor system linking to the waste pit
Conveyor for using bio mass I believe to supplement the coal
Access to the silo didn't venture in don't like the dark lol
I think the Bio mass Silo
Some kind of filler system for trucks
One of the two huge chimneys got to touch it later but my battery went flat
Looking inside the 33kv room been a sparky and knowing what 33kv can do decided against going in and I've got a chair as I've seen people always have a chair
