Uniper has awarded a Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) contract to Technip Energies - supported by GE Vernova and Balfour Beatty - and to Worley for its proposed 1.1 GW Connah’s Quay Low Carbon Power project in the United Kingdom. This CCGT project, known as the Connah’s Quay Low Carbon Power project, would consist of two units of at least 550 MW each (maximum capacity of 1.38 GW) and its first phase could be operational as early as 2030.
The project aims to connect into nearby CO₂ transport and storage infrastructure within the Hynet Cluster located in North West England, an industrialised region with CO2 emissions sources. The captured CO2 would be transported to permanent offshore storage facilities in repurposed depleted offshore gas fields.
Uniper aims for its installed power generating capacity to be more than 80% zero-carbon by the early 2030s, in order to be completely carbon-neutral by 2040.
