Moorside clean energy hub is a proposal put forward on 30 June 2020 by two consortia, one led by EDF and the other by Rolls-Royce, to create an energy hub that would produce electricity and hydrogen through the use of nuclear power and renewable energy.[1][2]
The hub would be constructed on the cancelled Moorside nuclear power station site, which was abandoned by Toshiba in 2018.[3]
