Water treatment plant planned at Didcot B Power Station

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 20 Oct, 13:32 · Archive

RWE Generation UK plans a new water treatment plant at Didcot B Power Station in Oxfordshire.

RWE Generation UK has proposed a new water treatment plant at Didcot B Power Station in Oxfordshire. The facility would initially serve a nearby business but could eventually be expanded to supply other businesses and the power station itself, pending necessary approvals.

The plant is designed to optimise the use and reuse of water from the River Thames, aiming to reduce dependence on mains water. The power station already operates a current treatment plant for its steam cycle.

The proposal is awaiting a formal screening opinion from Vale of White Horse District Council to determine whether an Environmental Impact Assessment is needed. The screening report sets out the plant's design, location and potential environmental effects. The council has three weeks from the request receipt date to adopt its screening opinion.

RWE said: 'Overall, it is not considered that the proposed development would give rise to significant environmental effects, either alone or in cumulation with other existing or approved developments.'
