SSE to close Ferrybridge C coal power plant on March 31

March 29 (Reuters) - British power producer SSE (LSE: SSE.L - news) said on Tuesday it would permanently close its 2-gigawatt Ferrybridge C coal-fired power plant on March 31 after 50 years in service.

SSE decided to close the ageing plant last May, citing number of factors, including expected losses as Britain increased taxes on carbon emissions. (Reporting by Nerijus Adomaitis in Oslo; editing by Jason Neely)
