Gas-fired power stations in the UK

0 gas-fired power stations with a combined 0 MW of installed capacity, from the UK government's register of power stations (DESNZ, DUKES table 5.11) and Octary's own records. Open any station for its capacity, operator, location map, nearby stations and source.

Wind, solar and hydro sites have their own sections: wind farms, solar farms and hydro and pumped storage.

Gas-fired power stations burn natural gas. Combined-cycle gas turbine (CCGT) plants reuse exhaust heat to raise steam for a second turbine, making them more efficient than single-cycle (open-cycle) gas turbines, which are used mainly for short peaks in demand.

No stations match these filters.

Source: Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, Digest of UK Energy Statistics (DUKES) table 5.11, plus Octary's records of legacy and decommissioned sites. Capacities are installed capacity, not live output. For hand-written histories and engineering diagrams of the UK's major stations, see the power stations atlas.
