Local community
RWE npower has a long-term commitment to Staythorpe and the surrounding area. The new power station will provide significant benefits in terms of long-term employment and other contributions to the local economy.
We take our corporate responsibility extremely seriously. This means considering the social and environmental impacts of our operations, working to promote the positive effects and taking care to minimise any negative impacts. We are committed to keeping the community informed about progress during construction and into the active life of the power station.
Staythorpe power station will also fund, sponsor and support local educational and environmental initiatives. As part of the initial development, RWE npower contributed to a number of community schemes, including the funding of a school extension and playground equipment, along with providing numerous smaller contributions to local societies and parish organisations.
