Aberthaw Power Station refers to a series of two coal-fired power stations situated on the coast of South Wales, near Barry in the Vale of Glamorgan. It is actually located on the waterfront of the nearby villages of Gileston and West Aberthaw on Limpert Bay. The current power station on the site, Aberthaw B Power Station, co-fires biomass and as of 2008 has a generating capacity of 1560 megawatts (MW). The station is also the location for a trial Carbon Capture system. At 1MW in consumption the trial is to determine whether the technology can be scaled up from lab conditions. ==History== The site of the stations was originally a golf course prior to the construction of the first station.〔(View Image : Barry, Wales )〕 Aberthaw A Power Station opened in February 1966, and at the time was the most advanced power station in the world.〔()〕 Aberthaw B Power Station opened in the early 1970s. The A Station operated until 1995. It was subsequently demolished. Its two chimneys were the last section to be demolished, and this was done on Saturday, 25 July 1998. The site currently has 3 generating units, each driven by their own Foster-Wheeler boiler. From 2006-2007 new steam turbines were retrofitted, allowing each unit to generate an extra 28-30MW of power each. Each unit is now rated at 520MW.
