Cockenzie power station

Cockenzie power station was a coal-fired power station in East Lothian, Scotland. It was situated on the south shore of the Firth of Forth, near the town of Cockenzie and Port Seton, east of the Scottish capital of Edinburgh. The station dominated the local coastline with its distinctive twin chimneys from 1967 until the chimneys' demolition in September 2015. Initially operated by the nationalised South of Scotland Electricity Board, it was operated by Scottish Power following the privatisation of the industry in 1991. In 2005 a WWF report named Cockenzie as the UK's least carbon-efficient power station,
in terms of carbon dioxide released per unit of energy generated. The 1,200 megawatt power station ceased generating energy on 15 March 2013 around 8.30am.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Cockenzie Power Station shuts down marking 'end of an era' )〕 the main station is being dismantled by Brown and Mason Ltd, a UK-based demolition company. There are plans to replace the station with a Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT) power station. The iconic twin chimneys of the power station were demolished in a controlled explosion on 26 September 2015.
==History==
Under a design by the firm of celebrated architect Sir Robert Matthew, construction of Cockenzie power station began in 1959 on the site of the former Preston Links Colliery. The site is also thought to have been the hiding place of General John Cope after the defeat of his army at the Battle of Prestonpans on 21 September 1745.〔 Much of the electrical equipment for the station was manufactured by Bruce Peebles & Co., Edinburgh. The station began generating electricity in 1968 for the then South of Scotland Electricity Board (SSEB). In 2000-01, Cockenzie generated a record load factor, supplying 3,563 GWh of electricity and burning 1,500,000 tonnes of coal.〔
