Unit One (490MW) and Unit Two (490MW) at Ferrybridge Power Station are opted out of the Large Combustion Plant Directive (LCPD) and are therefore required to close once they have used up their allowed 20,000 operating hours, or by the end of 2015 at the latest. These units are both expected to reach their 20,000 allowed operating hours limit before the end of the 2013/14 financial year. Each unit will cease operation immediately and permanently once the allowed hours limit has been reached.
