Oldbury power station is located in South Gloucestershire and has an area of 51 hectares covered by the nuclear site licence. It started electricity generation in 1967. The area around the site is environmentally sensitive and has been designated as a Special Protection Area (SPA) and a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI).

Overview

Age Operated from 1967
Site Stakeholder Group Oldbury Site Stakeholder Group
Site Licensee Magnox Limited
Parent Body Organisation Energy Solutions Inc
Status Operational
Cost - Lifetime
(total discounted nuclear liability)
£939m

 * The costs of discharging the nuclear liability will be incurred over a significant period of time. To take account of the time value of money, the costs are "discounted" back to a present value. Effectively this is the amount that would need to be invested today, at a set rate of interest (the discount rate) in order to pay for the liability in the future as it falls due.
