Location
The map below shows the location of the power station in Connah's Quay, Flintshire County, United Kingdom.
Background
Originally built as a coal plant in 1954, Connah's Quay now functions as a 1500 MW gas-fired power plant.[1] In 2021 the project applied for 750 MW existing generation (units 3 and 4, 375 MW each) in the T-4 Capacity Market 2024-2025 auction, and they were listed in the final results.[2][3] This would qualify them for government subsidies to guarantee electricity supply.[4] In the same auction, refurbishing units 1 and 2 (750 MW) was included.
In 2021 Uniper is also floating ideas to develop a hydrogen hub at this facility.[1]
