About Immingham CHP

Immingham CHP is a combined-cycle gas turbine (CCGT) station near Immingham in Lincolnshire. It was commissioned in 2004. It is a combined heat and power plant: it supplies steam to the Humber Refinery next door as well as power to the grid.

Its 1,283 MW of registered generating capacity is spread across one balancing mechanism unit. Every half hour each unit tells the grid how much it will generate (its physical notification): that is the live figure above, and GridMonkey records it every half hour for the chart.

Gas stations follow demand: they ramp up when the wind drops or the evening peak arrives, and back off when there is plenty of wind and sun. Most are combined-cycle (CCGT); a few open-cycle turbines (OCGT) start fast to cover peaks.
