No coal at Ferrybridge Power Station

The space behind the bushes used to be a mountain of coal. I was amazed to notice that there was no coal at Ferrybridge power station anymore.
I looked up the new units. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferrybridge_power_stations
Turns out that they have put in a multi-fuel power station. This includes biomass and waste. But it is much smaller. The old Ferrybridge was 2GW whilst this new plant is 68MW. That's 30x smaller.
