Killingholme A Power Station is a Closed-cycle gas turbine natural gas power station in the civil parish of North Killingholme in North Lincolnshire, north of the Lindsey Oil Refinery, and adjacent to Killingholme B power station
Killingholme A (665 MW) opened in 1994 and its final synchronisation took place on 05/02/2016 at 02:00 with a combined station output of 635MW.
Specification
The powerstation uses three Alstom GT-13D 145 MW gas turbines each with a heat recovery steam generator which lead to one Alstom 227 MW steam turbine.[1] Owned by Centrica and employs 52 people.[2]
The plant opened in 1994 and was operated by National Power until 2000 when it was bought by NRG Energy for £390 million. It was then purchased in 2003 by a consortium of twenty banks when NRG got into financial difficulty[3] and was then bought by Centrica in July 2004 for £142 million.[4]
In early 2014 Centrica began to seek buyers for a number of its gas power plants, including its South Humber and Killingholme plants,[5] and in early 2015 began discussion on the closure of the plant, having received no acceptable bids for the plant.[6]
Referred to as Killingholme A powerstation.[7][8][9]
