In 2017 we were proud to open Carrington Power Station. Powering more than 1 million homes and businesses in the Greater Manchester area, the gas fired power station is one of the most efficient thermal plants in the UK and has the ability to allow renewables like wind and solar on its system at any given time.
Carrington Power Station – For when the wind doesn’t blow or the sun doesn’t shine
Our priority continues to be the development of our low carbon and renewable technologies.
The flexibility provided by Carrington allows more renewable generation to come on stream, while also preserving security of supply and affordability for electricity customers in the UK.
Power stations like Carrington complement low carbon wind and solar renewable energy by providing reliable electricity all year round, whatever the weather or time of day.
Building a Brighter Future for Britain
For over 30 years, we’ve been right here in Britain, pushing the boundaries of what great energy looks like by investing invaluable time and infrastructure into greener energy.
We have invested into renewable energy, powering homes with wind power, and we’ve planned further renewable energy investment in onshore and offshore wind farms.
