How Severn Power Ltd compares

16th of 49largest gas-fired stations in the UK register
3rd of 3in Wales
2.6%of listed UK gas-fired capacity

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.
