It is the responsibility of each Economic Operator to register in this manner. 1 | Page 1. Introduction EPUKI was established in 2014 as the platform for expanding the EPH Group into the UK and Ireland Energy Markets. EPH is a leading Central European energy group that owns and operates assets in the Czech Republic, the Slovak Republic, Germany, Italy, Hungary and the UK. EPH is a vertically integrated energy utility covering the complete value chain ranging from highly efficient cogeneration, power generation, and natural gas transmission, gas and electricity distribution and supply. EPH is the 6th largest producer of power in Europe, employing over 25,000 employees. and currently owns and operates a range of power stations within the United Kingdom. Historically, all of these stations were Independent power producers (whether directly or via its parent company) procuring goods and services to support the respective power station on a stand – alone basis. As a result of progressive changes in this power station portfolio, it is recognised that by leveraging economies of scale both commercial and service –related improvements can potentially be achieved. Lynemouth Power Station Limited is owned by Energetický a průmyslový (EPH) is a conventional superheat and reheat steam cycle power plant fuelled with pulverised biomass pellets and cooled with seawater. The plant consists of three units where the boilers were built by Clark Chapman John Thompson supplying steam at 538°C and 2000psi. The station has an installed capacity of 420 MW delivered from three Siemens turbo generators. The station currently operates base load and supplies the national grid. The plant has completed in the order of 300,000 hours with expectation of achieving in excess of 400,000 hours. EP Ballylumford Limited operates Ballylumford Power Station which is situated on the north western tip of Islandmagee in County Antrim, Northern Ireland, opposite the sea port of Larne. With an installed generating capacity of 1017 MW, it is the largest power station on the island of Ireland. The B Station consists of a 3-set 308 MW generating asset, commissioned in 1974 and converted to natural gas primary fuel firing in 1997. The C Station is a 593 MW Combined Cycle Gas Turbine plant which was commissioned in 2002. Two distillate fired aero-derivative gas turbine generators (OCGT) were commissioned in 1976 to provide additional capacity of 116 MW. EP Kilroot Limited operates Kilroot Power Station which is situated on the north shore of Belfast Lough near Carrick Fergus in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. Kilroot has an installed generating capacity of 560 MW from dual coal and oil fuelled generators, plus 142 MW from additional gas turbines. The plant was commissioned in 1981 solely as an oil burning station. In 1989, the plant converted to dual fuel firing with coal. Flue Gas Desulphurisation equipment was installed in 2007 to meet the requirements of the EU Large Combustion Plant Directive. EP South Humber Bank is gas-fired power station located near Stallingborough, England. Total installed capacity of the power plant is 1310 MW. Site consist of Phase 1 and Phase 2, which are separate power plants with one combined TEC and has flexible design capable of 2-shift operation and minimum load, enhancing plant option value. EP Langage Limited Power Station, near Plymouth, is a combined-cycle power plant that consists of a single 885 MW unit in multi-shaft configuration: 2 x Alstom GT26 gas turbines, exhaust gases heating heat recovery steam 2 | Page generators, powering a single STF30C steam turbine. The 885 MW plant started generating in early 2010, it was commissioned against an expected 'energy gap' in UK generating capacity, caused by the expected closure of nuclear and older coal-fired stations. Langage is one of the most efficient plants in the UK, with combined cycle efficiency of c57%. It is also highly flexible due to its multi-shaft configuration and is able to run at loads as low as 250 MW. 2. Background to the requirement 2.1.

Under the Environmental Permitting (England & Wales) Regulations (EPR) 2016 (schedule 5, part 1, paragraph 19) a variation may comprise a consolidated permit reflecting the variations and a notice specifying the variations included in that consolidated permit. The requirements of the Industrial Emissions Directive (IED) are given force in England through the EPR 2016. This permit, for the operation of large combustion plant (LCP), as defined by articles 28 and 29 of the IED, already implements the special provisions for LCP given in the IED. The IED makes special provisions for LCP under Chapter III and contains ELVs applicable to LCP, referred to in Article 30(2) and set out in Annex V. This variation is required to assess the permit for compliance with the revised Best Available Techniques (BAT) Conclusions for the LCP sector published on 17 August 2017 including the incorporation of relevant BAT Associated Emission Levels (AELs) into the permit. Schedule 2 comprises a consolidated permit which reflects the variations being made. All the conditions of the permit have been varied and are subject to the right of appeal.

  • Northumberland Key Land Use Impact Study PART a Landscape
    Northumberland Key Land Use Impact Study PART A Landscape Sensitivity at Settlement Edges 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1. This study provides a comprehensive analysis of 26 selected settlements within Northumberland in order to assess the relative sensitivities of their landscape surroundings. The assessment aims to assist in guiding future development to the most appropriate locations, based on a review of the character of each settlement, boundaries and sensitivities within the surrounding landscape. 1.2. Each settlement was analysed and assessed based on a combination of desk study and fieldwork considering: • Settlement character and landscape sensitivity; and • Guidelines on landscape sensitivity to potential development. The analysis of settlements in this study is strategic in scale and does not provide a detailed local landscape and visual assessment for each settlement. SETTLEMENTS IN NORTHUMBERLAND 1.3. The distribution of settlements in Northumberland is historically guided by key factors including topography, defensibility, access to transport/ trade routes and presence of resources. A pattern of settlement can therefore be recognised in Northumberland, with a focus on the following areas: • The coast and coastal plain, where minerals and suitable land for farming were abundant; • The sheltered valleys of the River Tweed, River Till, River Aln, River Coquet, River Wansbeck, River Blyth, River Tyne and their tributaries; and • The foothills of the Cheviot Hills and North Pennines.
