History

The plant was commissioned by Entergy, an American power firm, and built by Raytheon Engineers and Constructor and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, who provided the gas turbine equipment. The plant entered service in February 2001. It trades as Damhead Creek Ltd.

On June 2 2004, the plant was bought by Scottish Power for £317 million.

On 9 March 2009 Scottish Power announced plans to develop a second 1,000MW gas-fired power station adjacent to the current power station. It has been named Damhead Creek 2.

Specification

It is a CCGT type power station that uses natural gas. There are two Mitsubishi 701F gas turbines with the exhaust gas from each entering two (Dutch) NEM heat recovery steam generators. The steam from these enters one 216MWe Mitsubishi steam turbine. There are three hydrogen-cooled electrical generators - two on the gas turbines and one on the steam turbine.
