Progress Power

Progress Power Station is a rapid response gas-fired power plant located at the Eye Airfield Industrial Estate in Suffolk. A subsidiary business of Drax Group, Progress Power Station supports the UK electricity network providing flexible generation to support wind and solar when they are not able to meet national electricity demand.

Progress Power Station is located at Eye Airfield, a former World War II United States Air Force base

Progress Power Station, a Drax Group development project, helps support Great Britain’s energy security. It will be operational during periods of peak electricity demand and when intermittent renewable technologies are unable to produce the power required to keep the country running – for example when the wind isn’t blowing and the sun isn’t shining. Progress Power is able to operate 1,500 hours a year and as such, will help the country to transition to a lower carbon economy. It has the capacity to generate enough instant electricity to power 150,000 households.
