Energy giant RWE is looking to build a new gas-fired power station on the South Humber Bank.
Proposals have emerged for what would be an investment of hundreds of millions of pounds at a site in Stallingborough, creating scores of jobs. It had been revealed as the company - responsible for several offshore wind farm developments out of Grimsby and a huge new solar scheme for North Lincolnshire - joined one of the Humber’s carbon capture and storage partnerships. It will ensure clean electricity generation by piping emissions under the North Sea.
RWE will work with Harbour Energy on the Viking CCS scheme, connecting the heavy industry cluster, where refining and power generation dominate, with storage in depleted gas fields 140km off the coast, via Theddlethorpe.
