Background
EP UK Power Development Limited (‘EP UKPD Ltd’) has obtained a Variation Consent from the Secretary of State for the King’s Lynn ‘B’ CCGT Power Station Project. The Variation Consent allows EP UKPD Ltd to construct and operate a new gas-fired power station with an electrical output of up to 1,700 megawatts (‘MW’), including associated works. The power station will comprise one of the following two options (only one will be constructed):Option 1 – up to two CCGT units[7]; orOption 2 – one CCGT unit and an OCGT peaking plant.[7]EP aims to make these units hydrogen ready in the future, and notes that part of their proposed project includes plans for carbon-capture and storage technologies as they become available.[8]The 1,700 MW project is listed in the T-4 Capacity Market 2024-2025 final auction results.[9][10] This would qualify it for government subsidies to guarantee electricity supply.[11]
