Electricity-generating Power Plants
Page still under construction.
There are three main electricity-generating power plants in the North East. These are:
- Hartlepool AGR Nuclear (1,210 MW)
- Teesside Power CCGT/CHP (1,875 MW)
- Alcan Lynemouth (540 MW)
Of these three though, Alcan's power plant operates for own consumption and does not export electricity to the national grid. The plant is predominately coal-fired, but currently co-fires with 10% biomass.
The Teesside power plant is gas-fired.
