 Moorside Nuclear Power Station Threatened

The UK Government have stated that the choice of builder is "a commercial matter." Since no nuclear power station has ever been built in the UK without some Government support, this is statement is nonsensical.
It is believed that both Korea and Westinghouse are no longer interested in Moorside. 
 
China General Nuclear Power Group (CGN) presently building Hinkley in Somerset have expressed an interest however this has not been well received in some quarters.


 A spokesman for National Grid has stated that effectively the North West Coast Connections project is at an end.”

National Grid planned  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.
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.
