The most efficient gas-fired power station in Europe has entered commercial operations following a four-and-a-half year build.
SSE Thermal’s £350 million Keadby Two Power Station in North Lincolnshire is now generating electricity for the UK, having been delivered with Siemens Energy. A key part of the Humber industrial cluster, it has an efficiency of around 63 per cent, making it the most advanced plant of its type in Europe, and one of the most efficient in the world.
The 893MW-capacity operation is seen as a vital next step in the UK’s journey to net zero, with exploratory work already under way to see how hydrogen could be blended with natural gas.
