Rooscote Power Station
Roosecote Power Station was a gas-fired and former coal-fired power station, in Barrow-in-Furness. The gas-fired station opened in 1991 and was the first CCGT power station to supply electricity to the United Kingdom's National Grid. It was mothballed in 2012 after a proposed biomass power station was cancelled and subsequently demolished in 2014-15.
It was a Combined cycle gas turbine power station, fueled by gas from Centrica's Morecambe Bay field which is landed at nearby Westfield Point (left background). The station generated electricity using one 165 MWe Alstom GT13E gas turbine, its associated alternator having a terminal voltage of 15.75 kV, rated at 210MVA, from which the exhaust gases at 520C pass through one CMI heat recovery steam generator. Steam from this powers one 63MWe steam turbine, with its alternator having a terminal voltage of 12.5 kV. The station had a thermal efficiency of 49%. The electricity generated entered the National Grid, via a transformer, at 132 kV, where it powers part of the United Utilities (former NORWEB) network. By March 2012 it was reconfigured to allow operation in the Short Term Operating Reserve market. The plant employed 33 people.
