Sparkwell: Langage Energy Centre

Image: © Martin Bodman Taken: 15 Jul 2009

A new £400 million gas-fired power station nearing completion in July 2009. The rationale for this site is that there is little existing generating capacity now in the south west: this energy centre will make the National Grid more efficient by reducing energy losses through transmission from up-country power plants. A new gas pipeline has had to be laid in. The centre will also provide work for 50 people
