SSE has given an update on when its latest power station should be operational.
Keadby Two, a £350 million combined cycle gas turbine plant in North Lincolnshire, will recommence commissioning this week, with the performance validation period anticipated to complete on February 11. The update was given in the company’s third quarter trading statement, having revealed a delay in the market update ahead of its half-year results, published in September.
SSE had secured a 15-year capacity agreement for Keadby Two in the UK Capacity Auction process held in March 2020, which had been scheduled to begin on October 1. A delay in completing the commissioning meant it missed the start-date. Details why it has been put back have not been given, with major projects often encountering snags.
