EP UK Investments (EPUKI), which is a part of Energetick\u00fd a pr\u016fmyslov\u00fd holding (EPH), succeeded in the T-4 capacity auction securing the extension of the contracts for the energy supplies into the transmission grid for its Irish power plants Ballylumford, Tynagh and Kilroot. In addition, EPUKI gained a 10-year capacity contract for Kilroot enabling the decommissioning of the current coal-fired block and replacing it with a low-emission gas-fired unit with installed capacity of more than 300 MW. Thanks to this investment, the carbon dioxide emissions are expected to drop by approximately 1000 thousand tonnes each year.<\/p>\n
\u201eWe entered the UK market more than 5 year ago through the acquisition of one of the biggest coal-fired power stations \u2013 Eggborough. This asset is no longer operating, and we are considering replacing it with a modern gas-fired station. In the case of another British acquisition – Lynemouth Power Station – we have completed its conversion from coal to biomass combustion. By decommissioning a coal-fired unit in the Kilroot power station and its replacement with a gas-fired one, we will complete the withdrawal from coal in the British Islands. In line with to our long-term strategy, we rely on a combination of renewable sources and modern low-emission gas assets which are capable of flexible coverage of fluctuations in electricity demand,<\/em>\u201c says Jan \u0160pringl, CEO of EP Power Europe.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Notes to editors:<\/p>\n T-4 auctions take place every year for capacity to be delivered in four years\u2019 time.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" EP UK Investments (EPUKI), which is a part of Energetick\u00fd a pr\u016fmyslov\u00fd holding (EPH), succeeded in the T-4 capacity auction securing the extension of the contracts for the energy supplies into the transmission grid for its Irish power plants Ballylumford, Tynagh and Kilroot.
