Plans
A wholly owned BP company, Abernedd Power Ltd, proposed a further two natural gas-fired power stations with a total generation capacity of 870 MW of electricity. The scheme reached the planning stage. Construction was due to start in 2010 to meet a projected shortfall in power generation capacity in the UK and Wales within the next 4 to 6 years. However, a revised plan for a smaller power station of 450 MW has been approved and is now due for construction in 2012/13 St. Modwen acquired 1,050 acres (4.2 km2) of BP-owned land in April 2009 with a view to developing the land for employment-led purposes. Scottish and Southern Energy completed the acquisition of the Abernedd Power Company in May 2009

“Consider any individual at any period of his life, and you will always find him preoccupied with fresh plans to increase his comfort.
