The SSE unit owns and operates an ash separation plant at the Fiddlers Ferry coal-fired power station in Cheshire, UK, where fresh and stored ash produced by the power station is processed into marketable minerals and materials such as cement substitutes.
The SSE Mineral Solutions plant had completed its initial stages of commissioning, but adverse market conditions and a difficult outlook have led to the decision to mothball the plant, SSE said.
The closure of this plant will not have an impact on the continued operation of Fiddlers Ferry power station.
