A significant obstacle to achieving industrial heat decarbonization is transforming renewable energy from inconsistent to dependable, as manufacturing facilities demand. While solar panels produce power only during daylight hours and wind turbines rely on windy conditions, industrial operations require a continuous and stable energy supply. Graphite Energy, an Australian company, identified this disparity and embarked […]

Grain power station, on the Isle of Grain in Kent, is the newest Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT) in Uniper’s UK portfolio, having been commissioned in 2011. The current power station replaced Grain-A, a 1320MW oil-fired station, commissioned in the 1970s, which was closed in 2012 under the EU’s Large Combustion Plant Directive (LCPD) legislation. It once […]
