CLARKE ENERGY TO DELIVER HYDROGEN READY POWER PLANT AT DEESIDE

Clarke Energy has signed a major contract with Triton Power to deliver a new 49 MWe gas fired peaking plant at the Deeside Power Station site in North Wales. The project highlights Clarke Energy’s continued role in supporting the UK’s transition to cleaner and more flexible energy systems.

Set to begin construction in June 2025, the new facility will feature eleven INNIO Jenbacher JMS624 gas engines. These engines are hydrogen ready, meaning they can be converted to run on hydrogen in the future as the UK’s low carbon infrastructure develops. The plant is designed to support the National Grid by quickly supplying electricity during times of high demand or when renewable sources are not available.

Clarke Energy is delivering the project as principal EPC contractor, providing a full turnkey solution. The site, which was once home to a large coal and gas fired power station, is now being transformed into a modern and flexible energy hub that is ready for the challenges of the future.

As well as offering immediate energy resilience, the plant has been designed with future upgrades in mind, including hydrogen fuelling and battery energy storage. This forward-thinking approach ensures the site remains relevant as energy systems continue to evolve.

The project is also good news for the region. It supports local jobs, strengthens supply chains, and helps position the North West and North Wales as leaders in clean energy innovation.

With over 30 years of experience delivering reliable power solutions, Clarke Energy is proud to play a key part in the UK’s journey to net zero. This latest project is a strong example of how the company combines engineering expertise with a commitment to building a more sustainable energy future.
