Doubt over future of UK’s last coal-fired power station site

Now, the Local Democracy Reporting Service has been informed one of Uniper’s former shareholders, the Finnish state-owned Fortum, will not be proceeding after disposing of its shares in the company.

Fortum sold its shares in 2022, and Uniper is now almost entirely owned by the German government.

A Uniper spokesperson said: “We are looking at alternative options for the future.”

Nottingham City Council Meadows ward councillor Michael Edwards raised his concerns for the future of the plant at the Nottingham and Nottinghamshire joint committee on mineral and waste planning on Friday.

In response, David Arnold, head of planning and environment at Nottinghamshire County Council, said: “There is planning permission at Ratcliffe and that has not been implemented yet. We don’t know whether that will be implemented.

“They have got until March next year and that is with Uniper. It is on their land and because of these circumstances it may mean they change their minds.”
