Ratcliffe power station revocation vote puts East Midlands Airport’s 2026 direct routes back in focus

Ratcliffe power station revocation vote puts East Midlands Airport’s 2026 direct routes back in focus

Rushcliffe Borough Council will vote Jan. 8 on revoking hazardous substances consent for the closed Ratcliffe-on-Soar power station after site owner Uniper requested the change. The consent, granted in 2008, covered storage of fuel oil and ammonia. The move is intended to support redevelopment near East Midlands Airport, which has announced new summer 2026 routes with Jet2, SunExpress, and TUI. Any revocation requires confirmation from the Secretary of State.

  • Nasdaq Falls as Super Micro AI Chip Smuggling Charges Hit Market
    March 20, 2026, 12:01 PM EDT. The Nasdaq composite dropped about 1% on March 20, 2026, led by a sharp 28.37% plunge in Super Micro Computer shares following charges against its co-founder for conspiring to smuggle $2.5 billion of Nvidia AI chips to China. The indictment alleges complex export control violations, involving fake shipping documents and label swapping to mask shipments through Southeast Asia. Nvidia shares fell 1.66% given their exposure to Super Micro, and AMD dropped 2.32% amid sector-wide unease. The Invesco QQQ Trust also slipped 1%, extending its four-week losing streak amid ongoing geopolitical strains, including Iran tensions and volatile oil prices. Analysts question Super Micro's credibility and internal controls despite the charges targeting individuals rather than the firm itself.
