Specification
Staythorpe is a CCGT power station that runs primarily on natural gas, but has the theoretical (not commissioned) option to switch to (distillate) light fuel oil. It will generate enough electricity for two million homes. It will consist of four KA26-1 modules, generating around 430 MWe each, each with an Alstom 288 MWe GT26B gas turbine, triple-pressure heat recovery steam generator and steam turbine. Electricity will be generated using Alstom TOPGAS hydrogen-cooled generators. The plant will have a thermal efficiency of around 58%.
