Port Talbot Power Station was a proposed 1,100–1,300 MW natural gas-fired power station in Port Talbot, situated in Neath Port Talbot county borough, Wales. A proposed 350 MW biomass power station would have been sited next door to it.
Gas-fired power station
The power station was projected to cost £500 million, and be completed around 2012. It would have been built by ESB International.[1] It would have been sited near the docks and steel works.[1] It would have been a CCGT-type power station that runs on natural gas.[1] In 2007 it was being reported that the "proposals are currently with the Department of Trade and Industry".[2]
Proposed wood-fired station
The £400 million biomass plant was granted planning permission in 2007, despite fierce opposition in the town.[3] The plant would have been a wood-fired station. The plant was being developed by Prenergy Power.[3] However by 2013 there appeared to be no prospect of construction starting.[3]
