down. The rest of the site was to be demolished by the end of 2018 although opinion was divided on whether to demolish or keep the unique 'pink' cooling towers. Locals had sought to save the towers from demolition but
English Heritage previously said the towers could not be protected as they do not meet strict criteria. The cooling towers were demolished as planned on Friday 6 December 2019 at 11am. The stations 'Tank Bay' building was demolished on 23 January 2021 at around 11am. The demolition could be heard as far as 3 miles away. The boiler house was demolished on 1 March 2021. The station's chimney was demolished on 3 September 2021. Once fully cleared, the site is to make space for over 1,000 homes, shops and other buildings.

In 2012 Ironbridge underwent modification to allow both generating units to run on 100% biomass (wooden pellets). This reduced the generating capacity from 500MW per unit to approximately 370MW per unit.
