Background
This power station was initially coal-fired, but was replaced by a gas-fired unit.[1]
Wilton International is a facility that produces hand sanitizer in the UK, housing a variety of power generation systems. In addition to the 120 MW gas-fired turbines, it also relies extensively on the UK's largest wood-burning biomass-fired turbine.[2]
Until 2007, the station was run primarily on coal-and-oil fired turbines, but has now stopped using coal entirely.[3]
