Coal Fired Powerstation – Cockenzie – Case Study

Cockenzie Power Station, in East Lothian, Scotland closed down on 15th March 2013 after 45 years of power generation. The station opted out of the Large Combustion Plant Directive (LCPD) in January 2008 and as a consequence was required to close by December 2015 or after it had operated for 20,000 hours. These hours have now expired.
