Killingholme A Power Station is a Combined‐cycle gas turbine natural gas power station in the civil parish of North Killingholme in North Lincolnshire, north of the Lindsey Oil Refinery, and adjacent to Killingholme B power station
Killingholme A (665 MW) opened in 1994 and its final synchronisation took place on 05/02/2016 at 02:00 with a combined station output of 635MW.
The powerstation uses three Alstom GT-13D 145 MW gas turbines each with a heat recovery steam generator which lead to one Alstom 227 MW steam turbine. Owned by Centrica and employs 52 people.
The plant opened in 1994 and was operated by National Power until 2000 when it was bought by NRG Energy for £390 million. It was then purchased in 2003 by a consortium of twenty banks when NRG got into financial difficulty and was then bought by Centrica in July 2004 for £142 million.
In early 2014 Centrica began to seek buyers for a number of its gas power plants, including its South Humber and Killingholme plants, and in early 2015 began discussion on the closure of the plant, having received no acceptable bids for the plant.
Referred to as Killingholme A powerstation.
