In 2006 the generating capacity was approximately 8GW total (Ferrybridge C, 2GW; Eggborough, 2GW, Drax 4GW). The power stations were built during the post-Beeching era,〔 close to the Selby Coalfield which supplied them via Gascoigne Wood until the fields closure at the beginning of the 21st century. After the Selby field closure coal was imported to fuel the power stations, much of it through the Humber ports (primarily Immingham port, also port of Hull) and other east coast ports (Redcar, Tyne, Blyth), additionally coal was supplied from open cast coal mines in Ayrshire, Scotland, as well as being imported via Scotland (Hunterston Terminal). Both Ferrybridge and Eggborough powerstations are scheduled to close in March 2016. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Aire valley power stations」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
