Background

The power plant is comprised of a 520 MW combined cycle unit and a 32 MW open cycle gas turbine unit. The gas turbine provides the power plant with black start capability.[3]In June 2020, KPMG Restructuring practice appointed Joint Administrators of Calon Energy Limited.[8] Unlike Severn power station and Sutton Bridge power station, Baglan was not mothballed by the administrators.[9]In March 2021 winding-up orders were made on March 24 against Baglan Bay,[9] placing it into official receivership.[10][11] According to October 2021 data from the European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity, unit one has not produced electricity since February 2021[2], and unit two since July 2020.[2]
