Technip Energies Awarded FEED Contract for Uniper's Connah’s Quay Low Carbon Power Project in the UK
Key Ideas
- Technip Energies has been awarded a FEED contract for a new build CCGT power station with CCS at Uniper's Connah’s Quay site in the UK, supporting the country's net zero emissions target by 2050.
- The project aims to provide 1.3 GW of low carbon power, contributing to security of supply while aiding in UK decarbonization efforts by leveraging Technip Energies' Canopy carbon capture solution.
- Uniper's focus on the development of the power plant aligns with the UK Government's requirements for Track 1 expansion projects, with the first train expected to be operational by the end of 2030.
- Uniper's commitment to carbon neutrality by 2040 and the transformation of its power plants to be more than 80% zero-carbon by the early 2030s demonstrates the company's dedication to sustainability and decarbonization.
Technip Energies has secured a Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) contract for the proposed Connah’s Quay Low Carbon Power project in the UK, a Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT) power station with Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS). This project, part of the Hynet Cluster in the North West of the UK, supports the nation's net zero emissions target by 2050. Uniper's project focuses on developing the first train of the power plant to begin commercial operation before 2030, in line with UK Government Track 1 expansion project requirements. The facility is expected to provide 1.3 GW of low carbon power in two phases, helping with security of supply and decarbonization efforts. Technip Energies, supported by Balfour Beatty and GE Vernova, will provide FEED services and integrate the CCGT with Carbon Capture using their Canopy carbon capture solution. Uniper's commitment to carbon neutrality by 2040 and the transformation of its power plants to be more than 80% zero-carbon by the early 2030s further underlines the company's dedication to sustainability and decarbonization.
