Ferrybridge Next Generation Power Station

Providing flexible capacity for a net zero future

SSE Thermal is committed to continuing the proud energy production heritage at Ferrybridge by actively developing Ferrybridge Next Generation Power Station.

In line with our vision for a net-zero future, SSE Thermal has committed to only build power stations with a clear route to decarbonisation.

Ferrybridge Next Generation Power Station will be designed to run on 100% hydrogen fuel from the outset of operations, but could also run on natural gas or a blend of natural gas and hydrogen until a resilient hydrogen supply becomes available.

The Proposed Development is subject to ongoing technical, environmental and engineering studies.
