 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."
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. ​

There are ​Affordable ​routes avoiding Giant Pylons around the Duddon Valley.
Nopylons show that
Cost of Offshore Route= Cost of Onshore Route + Mitigation

Our beautiful Duddon Estuary

Take a Youtube tour of the view that so impressed Wordsworth, the Duddon Panorama.
​Take a last You Tube look at the Duddon Estuary before it is permanently fenced in by National Grid!

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.
