About this project

The Centrica Glanford Brigg Biomass power Station would be a generating station capable of exporting 137 MWe (net) of electricity (enough to power approximately 214,000 homes). It would be located adjacent to the existing Glanford Brigg gas fired power station and would use some of the site’s existing infrastructure probably including; the electrical connection; cooling water systems; process water systems; and roads. The facility would be fuelled by clean (“virgin”) pellet and clean (“virgin”) wood chip, which would mainly be imported from outside of the UK. The biomass fuel would be primarily delivered to the site from the existing railway and unloaded via facilities developed on land previously used as a rail hub for the former Brigg British Sugar factory. The development would comprise: A Circulating Fluidised Bed Boiler in a new boiler house with a new stack; A turbine hall and high pressure steam turbine; Flue gas treatment equipment; Fuel storage silos; Ancillary buildings, tanks, silos; Railway and road side fuel unloading and screening facilities; Conveyors; Boiler and fly ash storage; and Associated infrastructure including: internal roads; a new emergency access; drainage; and lighting facilities; utilities; fencing and gates; and landscaping.
