The site

The outline is the boundary the promoter published. It can include cable, pipeline or road routes as well as the main site. 5,556 hectares inside the published boundary.

What is proposed

The project comprises the construction and operation of the Stallingborough CCGT generating plant and CCP which is anticipated to generate approximately 900 megawatts of electricity. Natural gas will be transported to the Main Site by a pipeline from the Ulceby and Habrough area in an easterly direction. Electricity will be supplied from the Main Site into the grid by a new electrical connection leading in a southerly direction to the existing West Grimsby substation. The Stallingborough CCGT generating plant and CCP is located within land owned by the Applicant’s Group, whereas the route for the natural gas pipeline and electricity connection, which is owned by a number of third parties, will be determined as part of the route selection and iterative environmental impact assessment processes. The potential cooling water infrastructure would be located within the Humber estuary where the foreshore is owned by the Crown Estate and the potential laydown area at the RWE CHP Grimsby site is under RWE ownership. The Main Site will be fitted with carbon capture equipment and carbon dioxide will be transported to offshore geological storage under the north sea and this transport and storage is expected to utilise the separate Viking CCS pipeline (PINS case reference EN070008). A connection between the Main Site and the Viking CCS pipeline will be delivered as a part of a separate project and consenting process.
