Killingholme A power station


Killingholme A Power Station was a Combined‐cycle gas turbine natural gas power station within the civil parish of North Killingholme, in North Lincolnshire, Lincolnshire, England. The facility lies north of the Lindsey Oil Refinery, and adjacent to Killingholme B power station.
Killingholme A opened in 1994 and its final synchronisation took place on 5 February 2016 at 02:00 with a combined station output of 635 MW.

Specification

The powerstation used three Alstom GT-13D 145 MW gas turbines each with a heat recovery steam generator which lead to one Alstom 227 MW steam turbine. The power station was owned by Centrica and employed 52 people.
The plant opened in 1994 and was operated by National Power until 2000 when it was bought by NRG Energy for £390 million. It was then purchased in 2003 by a consortium of twenty banks when NRG got into financial difficulty and was then bought by Centrica in July 2004 for £142 million.
In early 2014 Centrica began to seek buyers for a number of its gas power plants, including its South Humber and Killingholme plants, and in early 2015 began discussion on the closure of the plant, having received no acceptable bids for the plant.
Referred to as Killingholme A powerstation.
Demolition of Killingholme A commenced in late 2017.
