Keeping the lights on
Gas peaking power plants are designed to balance the fluctuating power requirement in the electricity network and operate during periods of high level demand or shortfalls of electricity supply.
We were first contacted back in 2017 by Green Frog Connect to provide our civils services for their gas peaking power plant project at Alcoa in Swansea. Since then, we have successfully completed several of these projects throughout the UK.
We have continued to develop our relationship with Green Frog Connect and have supported many of their projects in the renewables sector on battery storage and solar developments.
