Centrica will start construction work on a 50 MW fast response gas plant in North Lincolnshire this month as part of a 500 MW newbuild portfolio that won subsidy awards in the UK’s Capacity Market auction.
The new facility will consist of five 10 MW gas engines that will operate as a highly flexible “peaking plant” able to go from a cold standstill to full power in less than two minutes.
