British Energy awards new contract to EWS Energy

British Energy, one of the UK’s leading power companies, has awarded EWS Energy a new contract for the supply of coal trains to its Eggborough power station in North Yorkshire.

The new contract will see EWS Energy deliver coal by rail from Immingham. The contract was awarded to EWS Energy due to the right mix of reliability and flexibility over recent years and places EWS Energy as a key logistics partner for British Energy's longer term haulage requirements.

Paul Bates, EWS Energy Managing Director, said: “EWS Energy and British Energy have a strong relationship at all levels built on an understanding of the customer’s needs. I am delighted that our combination of reliability and flexibility has led to this new contract. We look forward to building our relationship and enhancing our service provision.”
