Introduction 1.1.1. Enzygo Limited (Enzygo) has been commissioned by GDF Suez Shotton Limited to prepare a Restoration Scheme for the land at Shotton Power Station, Deeside, Flintshire. The scheme is required by Condition 50 of the deemed planning permission for the facility. 1.2. The Site 1.2.1. The subject site comprises 5 hectares of land off Weighbridge Road, Deeside Industrial Estate, Deeside. The land is part of a former steelworks site which has subsequently been redeveloped. 1.2.2. The land is generally flat and currently contains the buildings, plant and infrastructure of the power station. In addition, the site contains internal roads and kerbs, car parking and a dedicated surface water management system. The site is fully enclosed with security fencing. 1.3. The Station 1.3.1. Shotton Power Station is a 210 megawatt (MW) gas-fired Combined Heat and Power (CHP) generating station. 1.3.2. The station was constructed in 2001 primarily to supply heat to the adjacent UPM Paper Mill. The station ceased generating power in June 2012. 1.3.3. The station operated under a deemed planning permission issued on 3 December 1998 by the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry in accordance with Section 36 of the Electricity Act 1989 and Section 90 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990. A copy of the deemed planning permission is at Appendix 1 to this report. 1.4. Purpose of this Document 1.4.1. This document is intended to satisfy Condition 50 (Cessation of Works and Restoration of the Site) of the deemed planning permission for the site. Condition 50 states: Within 18 months of the Site ceasing to be used for the purpose of electricity generation, the Company shall restore the site to a condition satisfactory to the Council, unless by the expiry of that period a planning permission or application for an alternative use for the Site has been obtained or sought or otherwise approved in writing by the Council. Such restoration work shall be undertaken in accordance with a detailed scheme submitted to, and approved in writing by, and deposited with, the Council. Reason: To ensure that the site is not allowed to become derelict after the cessation of electricity generation. 1.4.2. By agreement with Flintshire County Council, the term ‘the Council’ in the above condition is interpreted as meaning the Local Planning Authority (LPA). Therefore the Restoration Scheme is to be submitted to and approved in writing by the LPA. 1.4.3. In accordance with the stated reason for Condition 50, the primary purpose of the Restoration Scheme proposed by this document is to ensure the site does not become derelict now that electricity generation at the site has ceased. 1.4.4. By agreement with the LPA (letter dated 10 October 2013 appended to this Statement) the site must be fully restored in accordance with an approved scheme no later than 30 June 2015. CRM.022.004.R.001 Page 2 November 2013 2.0 BACKGROUND 2.1. Introduction 2.1.1. The GDF Suez Shotton Limited CHP Site is one of 9 sites in the UK operated by GDF Suez Energy International. The Site is located in Flintshire, North Wales on the Shotton Industrial Estate. 2.1.2. The Site comprises two gas turbines, each with a dedicated heat recovery steam generator which produces steam into a common pipework system capable of supplying a single steam turbine and process steam offsite. The plant has a dual fired capability. The primary fuel source is supplied natural gas with distillate available as an emergency backup fuel. The plant has a combined electrical capacity of 210MW power and is embedded into the 132kV grid system. 2.1.3. The existing layout of the site is shown on Figure 1 ‘Site Boundary’ in Section 5 of this report. 2.2. Access 2.2.1. Access to the Site is from A548 onto Weighbridge Road. 2.3. Station History 2.3.1. The Site was originally built by Eastern Electricity/TXU Europe and commenced commercial operation in 2001, operating as Shotton Combined Heat and Power Ltd. The plant is located near to the site of UPM's paper mill in Shotton and supplied process steam to the paper mill until June 2012. 2.3.2. In December 2002, TXU went into administration, and in January 2003, the administrators, PricewaterhouseCoopers successfully restarted the power plant. In October 2003, the plant was bought by Gaz de France (GDF). In 2008 Gaz de France merged with Suez (a major global utility company) to form GDF Suez. 2.3.3. In 2011 International Power and GDF Suez merged and Shotton CHP was integrated into International Power’s UK portfolio. Due to market conditions the station was no longer competitive in the UK market and International Power GDF Suez decided to close the station. International Power GDF Suez has rebranded and is now known as GDF Suez Energy International. 2.3.4. The CHP site is leased by GDF Suez Shotton Limited from Flintshire County Council, who are landowner and landlord. 2.3.5. The site was an operational power station until June 2012 and, having been built just over 10 years ago, is considered to be in good general condition. CRM.022.004.R.001 Page 3 November 2013 3.0 RESTORATION SCHEME 3.1. General 3.1.1. The general procedure envisaged for the restoration of the site in accordance with Condition 50 and in line with the landlord’s requirements will follow the steps outlined below: Dismantling of all plant and equipment for re-use elsewhere; Demolition and crushing of infrastructure not proposed for re-use (concrete pads, roads, kerbs, sumps etc.); Removal of underground services; Removal of all pile foundations to a depth of 2m below existing ground level; Backfilling of the site with crushed demolition material from the site or other suitable material; and Grading of the site to an approved level. 3.1.2. These proposed steps are detailed further in the sections below. 3.2. Dismantling plant and equipment 3.2.1. The CHP plant itself is to be dismantled for removal from site and reassembled overseas to continue operation as a generating station. The items to be removed from the site for this purpose include, but are not limited to: Gas turbines including generators and transformers; Steam turbine including generators and transformers; Heat recovery steam generators (boilers) including chimney stack; Water treatment plant; Control and electrical switchgear; Air cooled condenser; and Fuel reception facilities and pumping equipment. 3.2.2. All plant to be dismantled for export will be removed from the site prior to the commencement of demolition, crushing and restoration of the land. 3.3. Demolition of concrete slabs, roads, kerbs and sumps 3.3.1. Following the removal of all plant and equipment in accordance with Section 3.2 above, all surface concrete slabs, sump bases, roads, kerbs, rubble and tarmac will be broken out and crushed on site. The only exceptions to this are entrance tarmac road and tarmac car park at the top of the entrance road. These will be retained. 3.3.2. All buildings will be removed and demolished. 3.3.3. The following is an indicative list of plant and equipment expected to be used in the crushing, grading and screening of demolition material and other demolition works on site: 2 x Hitachi 470 Excavators 1 x Hitachi 210 Excavator CRM.022.004.R.001 Page 4 November 2013 Machine Attachments Extec Crusher 1 x magnet 1 x Access Platform 2 x Shears 4 sets Oxy/Propane cutting equipment. 3 x buckets 1 x 40 cu yd skips 1 used for 2 x hydraulic breakers metals, 1 used for general CAT 226 Skid Steer waste. 3.3.4. The use of mobile crushing plant to process demolition material on site will be undertaken in accordance with the requirements of the Environmental Health Services department and will be controlled via a Part B permit (Section 3.5) issued under The Environmental Permitting Regulations (England and Wales) 2010. Suitable noise mitigation measures, in the form of a barrier or other equipment will be used to minimise the impact of the noise produced by the operation of the machine to acceptable limits at the site boundary.

The energy system is undergoing significant change, with generation and delivery becoming more distributed in the communities and regions where the energy is used . We also anticipate this transition increasing the interaction between previously separate uses of energy, connecting power, transport and heat networks in new and different ways . As these different energy vectors decarbonise, there is a continuing role for renewable energy deployment . The renewable energy targets I set last year demonstrate Wales’ ambition to develop and support current and new forms of renewable energy .

  • Date of Document
    February 2002 Transmission access and losses under NETA Revised proposals Summary Ofgem has a duty to protect the interests of customers, through the promotion of competition and the effective regulation of network monopolies. Ofgem remains concerned that the current arrangements for access to and pricing of National Grid Company’s (NGC) high voltage electricity transmission system are not in customers’ long-term interests. The need for reform The current arrangements provide poor signals to generators and large customers about the transmission costs associated with locating at different points on the network. The lack of firm, long-term rights adds additional risk and costs to generators and customers that are difficult to hedge and limits the access choices on offer (for example the choice to pay more for a firm service or less for an interruptible service). Moreover, the current arrangements for charging transmission losses do not encourage efficient use of the transmission system as the costs are averaged nationally across all users. This leads to cross-subsidies between generators, and between customers, that harm competition and distort wholesale electricity trading. Given typical investment and planning lead times of a number of years, the current arrangements do not provide NGC with reliable signals of rising demand or emerging bottlenecks on the system and, in the absence of price signals, it is difficult to provide NGC with appropriate investment incentives. Instead, NGC uses its forecasts of demand and generation changes to identify where the transmission network may need to be reinforced. As a consequence, new generators and demand sites may have to wait some time to be connected if their requirements were not foreseen in NGC’s planning process.
