Some history stolen from The_Raw
Ironbridge B is a large coal-fired power station in Shropshire, UK. The site was originally used as a power station in 1932 when Ironbridge A opened. The 'A' station had a capacity of 200MW and closed in 1980. Construction of Ironbridge B power station began in 1963 and the station produced its first electricity in 1967. The plant consisted of two 500MW generating sets, with a combined capacity of 1GW. The power station was converted to burn biomass instead of coal in 2012. Electricity production ceased in November 2015 when the plant reached its limit of 20,000 hours of generation under the LCPD directive. The decommissioning process is expected to continue into 2017.
Thanks for looking
