Аннотация к книге "Kepier power station" Jesse Russell, Ronald Cohn:High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Kepier power station refers to a cancelled coal-fired power station on the River Wear at Kepier, 0.75 miles (1.21 km) north east of Durham, County Durham, North East England. Planned by the North Eastern Electric Supply Company (NESCo) in 1944, it was never realised as the scheme faced stiff opposition from those who claimed it would obstruct views of the historic Durham Cathedral from the East Coast Main Line. A number of people supported the scheme, as it would help meet the increasing demand for electricity, and provide much needed jobs in in the post-depression, post-war economy of Britain. Had it been given the go ahead, the station, which had been designed by architect Giles Gilbert Scott, would have been operational by the late 1940s and generated 150 megawatts of electricity. However, following a public inquiry, the plans were not given the go ahead, and instead NESCo installed new capacity at their existing power stations.
