About Lynemouth
Lynemouth is a biomass power station near Ashington in Northumberland. It has generated from biomass since 2018.
Its 420 MW of registered generating capacity is spread across 3 balancing mechanism units. 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.
Biomass stations burn wood pellets or other plant material instead of fossil fuel. The two biggest, Drax and Lynemouth, were coal-fired until they were converted.
