SALTEND POWER STATION

Saltend Power Station is a CCGT (Combined Cycle Gas Turbine) CHP (Combined Heat & Power) power station located on the Humber Estuary in East Yorkshire. The station has an output capacity of 1200 MW providing power to the UK electricity market, and power and steam to the adjacent Saltend Chemicals Park.

The CHP plant generates power efficiently using exhaust heat from the gas turbine to produce steam which in turn drives a steam turbine on the same shaft increasing the energy output of each generating unit, producing more power for less fuel.
