Paragraph 29 Electrical output limitation
The authorised development must not be operated to generate a net electrical output of more than 1520MWe (1563MWe gross) unless and until the requirements set out in sub-paragraph (2) have been satisfied.
The requirements referred to in sub-paragraph (1) are as follows—
the undertaker has submitted to the Secretary of State a revised CCS proposal;
The revised CCS proposal demonstrates that there is sufficient space available to comply with the land footprint requirement for the retrofitting of appropriate capture equipment for a generating station with a net electrical output of up to 1,700 MWe (1,748 MWe gross).
The revised CCS proposal includes as a minimum—
information required by the form “Environment Agency verification of CCS Readiness New Natural Gas Combined Cycle Power Station Using Post-Combustion Solvent Scrubbing”, as outlined in Annex C of the DECC Guidance, for a generating station with a net electrical output of more than 1,520 MWe (1,563 MWe gross) and up to 1,700 MWe (1,748 MWe gross); and
details demonstrating how the capture equipment will fit into the space allocated for the plant including the submission of engineering design details.
The Secretary of State, in consultation with the Environment Agency, has approved the revised CCS proposal in writing.
