Background
The five unit gas fired power plant is the second power plant that RWE has built to the west of the town of Pembroke, South West Wales. From 1965 until 1997, an oil-fired power station existed at the site.[5] The oil-fired power station, known as "Pembroke A", was comprised of four 500 MW units. It closed in 1997 and was demolished in 2003. The gas-fired power station is known as "Pembroke B Power Station".[6]
In 2021 the project applied for 2,375 MW existing generation (all their units) in the T-4 Capacity Market 2024-2025 auction, and they were listed in the final results.[7][8] This would qualify them for government subsidies to guarantee electricity supply.[9]
