New power sets delivered to Carrington Power Station
New gas-fired generator sets have been delivered to Carrington power station, the first of UK Power Reserve’s (UKPR) 26 development sites. When its construction programme completes in 2018, UKPR expects its total portfolio to reach nearly 700 MW.
Produced by Cummins Power Generation, the first fleet of generator sets have arrived at UKPR’s Carrington, Manchester site, which will house ten containerised units, or around 20 MW of capacity. The Carrington site – as well as similar sites in Gloucester, Immingham and Tonypandy should be operational by the end of the summer, says UKPR, with others including sites in Tottenham, Bracknell, and Hemel Hempstead, to be commissioned in the autumn.
