MMS wins contract at Staythorpe Power Station

MMS is pleased to announce that it has been awarded a contract to setup a comprehensive Condition Monitoring system at the new Staythorpe combined-cycle-gas turbine (CCGT) Power Station.

The station, owned by RWE, will have four generating units, which will be successively commissioned by the end of November 2010.

Once completed, the CCGT will have four generating units capable of producing around 1,650MW of electricity – enough to power around two million homes. It will reduce average annual CO2 emissions by up to 7.5 million tonnes compared to an existing coal-fired power station producing the same amount of electricity.
