Two coal-fired units at the Drax power plant are prepared for boosting the UK’s grid if required

On Monday 6th October, ELN incorrectly stated Ratcliffe power station is closed in a story about generators bidding into the capacity auction. The story has been amended. E.ON’s 2,000MW Ratcliffe coal plant is currently being retrofitted to reduce its CO2 emissions. E.ON’s Kingsnorth coal plant closed in 2013 under the EU’s Large Combustion Plant Directive.
