List of active gas fired power stations in the United Kingdom
There are currently 32 active gas fired combined cycle power plants operating in the United Kingdom, which have a total generating capacity of 30.2GW.[1]
Decline of gas for power in the United Kingdom
In 2016 gas fired power stations generated a total of 127 TWh of electricity. Generation has dropped to 119 TWh in 2017, 115 TWh in 2018 and 114 TWh in 2019.[2]
The decline in total gas generation is largely due to the increase in renewable sources outweighing the decline of coal, and an overall reduction in demand.[2]
