Lough, who was previously chief financial officer of Hurricane Hydrocarbons of Canada, has been finance director since late 2001.
British Energy only narrowly avoided going into administration last week after a deal was reached with banks and bondholders to keep the troubled firm, which provides a fifth of the UK’s electricity needs, out of administration.
The complicated package, which still has to be approved by the European competition authorities, will leave shareholders with just a fraction of the company.
In June British Energy announced losses of £4.3bn after slashing the value of its power plants.
