    Hinkley Point B ended generation when its final reactor was switched off.

    Primary source (opens in a new tab)

Mapped capacity is the value retained in the committed BM-unit source snapshot. “Not retained” means the registry no longer supplied a positive figure; it does not mean the unit historically had no capacity. If a unit with a retirement event publishes a non-zero live declaration, the live declaration keeps it in the operating fleet pending review.
