Our Approach

  • The Challenge

    To find a commercially viable option to provide large scale generation into the UK market, at a time when system constraints were approaching a critical juncture.

  • The Solution

    Design and implement the most efficient large-scale generation plant on the whole UK system. This involved converting an old coal fired site into a cleaner CCGT station, utilising GT26 Gas Turbine technology, requiring 2.5 kilometres of gas pipeline to be constructed
