Unit name Status Fuel(s) Capacity (MW) Technology CHP Start year Retired year
Unit 1 operating[2] gas[2] 836[2] combined cycle[3] no 2000[4]
Unit 2 operating[2] gas[2] 422[2] combined cycle[3] no 2000[4]

CHP is an abbreviation for Combined Heat and Power. It is a technology that produces electricity and thermal energy at high efficiencies. Coal units track this information in the Captive Use section when known.

Unit name Owner Parent
Unit 1 Seabank Power Limited[5] SSE PLC [50.0%]; CK Infrastructure Holdings Limited [50.0%]
Unit 2 Seabank Power Limited[5] SSE PLC [50.0%]; CK Infrastructure Holdings Limited [50.0%]

Background

In 2021 the project applied for 1,258 MW existing generation (units 1 and 2) in the T-4 Capacity Market 2024-2025 auction, and they were listed in the final results.[6][7] This would qualify them for government subsidies to guarantee electricity supply.[8]
