Background
Peterborough was originally commissioned as a combined-cycle unit with a capacity of 360 MW.[7]
In 2018 the plant converted to open-cycle mode and reduced its capacity to 245 MW.[8]
In 2018 Centrica also completed the construction of an additional 50 MW gas-fired engine block (5 x 9.8 MW Wärtsilä) at the site.[9]
In June 2021, Centrica stated that is had agreed to sell the Peterborough station, "which comprises freehold land, the 245MW Peterborough open cycle gas turbine (OCGT) and the 49MW reciprocating gas engine", to Whitetower Holdings UK Limited, an affiliate of Rockland Capital, LP for $28.4 million.[10][11]
