In the first half of 2026, we expect to take control of Hirwaun Power, the first of three new OCGTs. The second and third sites are expected to commence commissioning in 2026, which is later than originally planned, primarily due to delays in grid connection by the relevant authorities.
The OCGTs will provide combined capacity of c.900MW and be remunerated under 15-year Capacity Market agreements, worth over £260 million in revenue.
