Shotton Combined Heat and Power Station is a 210 MWe gas-fired CHP power station in Flintshire, Wales. It is located on Weighbridge Road in Deeside, near the A548 in Shotton, Flintshire. ==History== The power station opened in 2001 as Shotton CHP Ltd, when owned by TXU Europe. The plant is near the (site ) of UPM's Shotton (paper mill ). It is near (steelworks ) owned by Corus Group. In December 2002, TXU had financial problems when the price of electricity plummeted. The plant went into administration. In January 2003, the administrators, Pricewaterhousecoopers, successfully restarted the power plant. It was the first time a power station had been commercially running whilst in receivership. In October 2003, the plant was (bought ) by Gaz de France (GdF), being their only power station in the UK until the company bought the Teesside power station in February 2008. Late 2008 Gaz de France merged with Suez (a major global utility company) to form GDF Suez. The site is next door to the Deeside Power Station, north of the River Dee. International Power decided to close the plant in June 2012, as the commissioning of a number of highly efficient gas-fired power stations in the UK, the relatively low efficiency of Shotton CHP and the worst position of gas in UK's merit order over the previous years made the plant uncompetitive. 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「Shotton Power Station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
