Background
At the paper mill, a new gas-fired unit, K4, with electric-generating capacity of 68 MW, was proposed (as of November 2019) to be built and operated by E.On, to replace the existing K1 gas-fired unit with capacity of 81 MW capacity.[8]
Also a new waste-to-energy unit, K3, with 50 MW capacity was under construction (as of April 2020) by Wheelabrator Technologies.[9][10] It came online in July 2020.[11]
In 2021 "Kemsley CHP Limited" is listed in the T-4 Capacity Market 2024-2025 final auction results with a 2024 delivery date.[12][13] This would qualify it for government subsidies to guarantee electricity supply.[14]
