The Stallingborough Generating Plant is a proposed natural gas-fired power station equipped with carbon capture technology. It is strategically located by the Humber Estuary near Stallingborough, North East Lincolnshire.
The station will generate up to 900 megawatts (MWe) of decarbonised electricity, providing a secure energy supply to the grid during periods when renewable energy generation is low. By using carbon capture technology, it will play a crucial role in enhancing energy security and advancing the decarbonisation of the UK’s energy system.
The proposal will add to our expanding presence in the region. Once constructed it will support 50 high skill jobs and foster growth in the local supply chain. At present we are also involved in other significant projects in the area, including the 1.4GW Sofia offshore wind project in the North Sea, a solar farm proposal at Tween Bridge, North Lincolnshire and the construction of the state-of-the-art Grimsby Hub operations and maintenance centre.
As the Stallingborough CCGT Generating Plant with Carbon Capture would generate over 50MWe, it is classed as a Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project (NSIP) and will proceed through the Development Consent Order (DCO) planning process. The final decision on whether to grant consent for the project will be made by the Secretary of State for the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero.
