Keadby Power Station is a 734 MWe gas-fired power station near Scunthorpe in North Lincolnshire. It lies near the B1392 and the River Trent, and the Scunthorpe-Grimsby railway. Also nearby is the Stainforth and Keadby Canal, which is part of the Sheffield and South Yorkshire Navigation. ==History== Keadby Power Station was built on a former site of a coal-fired power station (which opened on 1 April 1952, but closed in 1984). being commissioned on 22 January 1996, and was opened by Scottish Hydro Electric and NORWEB when the site was in South Humberside. Scottish Hydro bought the 50% share of Keadby Generation Ltd, then owned by United Utilities in March 1997 for £253 million. It is now owned by Scottish and Southern Energy. In 1999, Scottish Hydro applied to add another 710 MWe of capacity at Keadby, though the investment decision on this project, called 'Keadby 2', will not be made until at least 2016.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=We are in the process of refining the planning consent we already have to build a second 710MW CCGT plant at the Keadby site )〕 In March 2015 the power station was 'deep mothballed' in response to adverse market conditions. The power station is due to reopen in December 2015 after winning a stand-by contract to provide 734 MWe of capacity.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Keadby Power Station )〕 SSE also own a 68 MWe capacity wind farm, Keadby Wind Farm, nearby. This is England's largest onshore wind farm, and started operating in July 2014.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=SSE Renewables, the renewable energy development division of SSE, acquired the Keadby wind farm project in North Lincolnshire in May 2011 )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Keadby Power Station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
