Keadby Next Generation Power Station Development Consent Order Proposal
Key Ideas
  • Keadby Next Generation Limited plans to submit a Development Consent Order for a 910MW hydrogen-fired CCGT electricity generating station in Scunthorpe, England.
  • The project aims to support the UK's security of energy supply by offering a low carbon alternative through hydrogen technology.
  • The proposal includes a range of facilities such as a CCGT plant, hydrogen and natural gas reception facilities, and associated infrastructure to enable flexible operation.
  • The application process will involve environmental impact assessment regulations and may require compulsory land acquisition to proceed with the project.
Keadby Next Generation Limited, based in Reading, England, is proposing the construction of a new combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) electricity generating station near the existing Keadby Power Station in Scunthorpe, England. The proposed Keadby Next Generation Power Station is designed to have a capacity of up to 910MW electrical output and is planned to run on 100% hydrogen, offering a low carbon energy solution. The project site spans approximately 70.9 hectares and will include a high efficiency CCGT unit along with necessary infrastructure. In the event of initial hydrogen supply chain limitations, the station will have the flexibility to operate using natural gas or a hydrogen-natural gas blend until a viable hydrogen supply is established. By pursuing this development alongside the Keadby 3 Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) Power Station on the same site, the project aims to align with government policies on energy security and contribute to a low carbon future. The proposal encompasses various elements like cooling infrastructure, gas reception facilities, blending equipment, and supporting facilities. Besides the main station, associated developments include drainage systems, utility connections, landscaping, security measures, and temporary construction setups. The project will also involve land acquisition if necessary and seek powers like easement adjustments, tree/hedgerow removal, and alterations to the highway network. As an 'EIA development', the project will comply with environmental impact assessment regulations, necessitating the submission of an Environmental Statement during the application process.
