South Humber Bank Power Station (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. South Humber Bank Power Station is a 1260MW gas-fired power station on South Marsh Road at Stallingborough in North East Lincolnshire north of Healing and the A180 near the South Marsh Road Industrial Estate. It is owned by Centrica Energy, being run as Centrica SHB Ltd. Phase 1 was completed in 1997 with 750MW of power, and Phase 2 was completed in January 1999, adding 510MW. It was originally financed by Finland's Fortum, the former Midlands Electricity, Tomen and Alstom. It was initially run by IVO Generation Services, a company owned by Fortum. Construction started in 1994. In May 2001, Centrica bought 60% of the power station, and with 40% owned by TOTAL, it was run as South Humber Power Ltd. This meant that the Phase 1 section was run by Centrica, and the Phase 2 part was run by TOTAL. In September 2005, the station was bought outright (100%) by Centrica, costing 150m. The plant was built by Switzerland's ABB.
