GREENPEACE protesters have climbed two 75-metre high chimney stacks at England’s largest gas-fired power station, in Nottinghamshire.

Eight climbers scaled maintenance ladder rungs at Staythorpe Power Station, which is owned by the German energy firm RWE, yesterday morning.

They put a large banner from the gan tries on display, reading: “The Great Gas Rip-Off: Now on!”

Greenpeace said the action aims to draw attention to how the wholesale price of gas, which is exposed to global shocks such as conflict and trade restric tions, is almost always the main factor in establishing the UK electricity price.
