Why choose Carrington as a site for a CCGT power plant?
The “brownfield” site at Carrington is very suitable as a location for a new power station as it has already been used for power generation. It complements the area’s designation in the local development plan and has excellent access to energy infrastructure. Additionally, there is a shortage of power generation capability in the north-west of England and the building of a new power station will bring electricity to where it is needed. See also Location.
