Penny's Bay Power Station

Penny's Bay Power Station (Chinese: 竹篙灣燃氣輪機發電廠) is a gas turbine power station in Tsuen Wan District, Hong Kong. The HKD 1.1 billion power station was commissioned on 25 March 1992. The complex consists of three open cycle gas turbines in a rectangular turbine hall with three smokestacks. The turbines were supplied by John Browne Engineering and generators by GEC-Alsthom. It is operated by CLP Power as a standby and peaking power station. The power plant can start up in 12 minutes. Its primary fuel is ultra low sulphur diesel (ULSD).

gollark: > It is similar in concept to SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) but much simpler. Compared to SVG Tiny, which isn't actually tiny, it does not have features for text, multimedia, interactivity, linking, scripting, animation, XSLT, DOM, combination with raster graphics such as JPEG formatted textures, etc.
gollark: https://github.com/google/iconvg is a similar thing.
gollark: Haiku has a cool compact format for icons (HVIF).
gollark: Mostly SVG, there aren't widely deployed good alternatives.
gollark: It's ridiculously verbose and XMLy. Even the "tiny" SVG standards allow stuff like embedded CSS and *JavaScript*.
