New Power Station

The Ratcliffe-on-Soar power station as a coal powered plant is due to be decommissioned in 2025, however plans are due to be submitted later this year to build a new power plant on this site.

The plant would work in a similar way to the much smaller Eastcroft incinerator on London Rd, Nottingham. It could save approximately half a million tons of non-recyclable waste from going to landfill and generate enough electricity to power 90,000 homes.
