Rocksavage
Location: Cheshire
Operator: Intergen
Configuration: 750-MW, 2+1 combined-cycle CHP with GT26A gas turbines
Fuel: natural gas
Operation: 1998
HRSG supplier: Alstom
T/G supplier: Alstom
EPC: Bechtel
Quick facts: This industrial site in Runcorn was
acquired by Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI) in the 1960s, but has been
an important industrial center for about 200 years. The Ineos chlor-alkali
works now consume about as much electricity as Liverpool and the CCGT
plant provides 300 MW to ICI with the balance sold to SSE under a 15yr
contract. Rocksavage was InterGen’s first exclusively-owned and operated
project, and it represented the largest such non-recourse financing
arranged and underwritten by a single UK bank to that date -- £358mn by
Credit Suisse. The project was very fast track. First funding was received
only 12mos after being proposed in mid-1995, and financial closure took
only another three and a half months. Construction was guaranteed to be
complete 26.5 months after the award of the EPC contract in Jan 1996 and
the plant was opened by the Queen in Jul 1998.

receivership and non-operational for over 6mos. The site is adjacent to
Centrica's Barrow gas terminals.Photograph
