EDF’s Scottish nuclear power plant Hunterston B to close after 46 years
LONDON, Jan 7 (Reuters) – EDF’s (EDF.PA) Hunterston B nuclear power plant in Scotland will close on Friday after some 46 years of operation, the company said. Britain’s nuclear power plants can supply around 20% of the country’s electricity demand, but around half are set to close in the next four years as they reach the end of their currently scheduled lifespan.
