Any thoughts on how this news will alter coal imports e.g. will coal still be imported into Scotland with a portion being dragged down the WCML to other power stations ?
Scotland's last coal-fired power station, Longannet in Fife, is to close on 31 March next year.
Its owner, Scottish Power, said the high cost of connecting to the grid was to blame.
The company has also announced it is abandoning plans to build a new gas-fired power station at Cockenzie in East Lothian.
Longannet, which opened in 1972, is one of the biggest coal-fired power stations in Europe.
The power station employs more than 230 staff.....
