The Duddon Estuary which National Grid propose to ruin with their proposed route
Moorside Nuclear Power Station Threatened
Latest News November 2018- Toshiba have announced that NuGen’s winding-up process will begin in January 2019 and be completed by the end of March 2019. The UK Government say this is "a commercial matter."
A spokesman for National Grid – whose key role is to connect new energy generation to the national electricity network – said: “We are in contact with Toshiba following their announcement about NuGen. “We currently have a connection agreement in place with the company, but we anticipate that they will wish to terminate this, effectively bringing the North West Coast Connections project to an end.”
National Grid wants to put Giant 55 metre Pylons around the Duddon Estuary. The pylons will transport power from the proposed Moorside Nuclear site, West Cumbria to Heysham, Lancashire.
NoPylons support the need for power, and the economic boost the energy industry will bring to the area. NoPylons disagree with marring the beautiful landscape of the Duddon Estuary with these Giant Pylons.

If Moorside ever goes ahead, there are Affordable routes avoiding Giant Pylons around the Duddon Valley.

What can you do?
|
The project is presently on hold whilst Nugen seeks new investors. When the project resumes National Grid will press on with their onshore scheme. We need to continue to build support for our alternative proposals. We will update the website as news unfolds.
