The proposal is for four 12.5 MW Gas reciprocating engines enclosed in a sound insulated building measuring 11 m in height. The height of each exhaust stack would be 12 m. Each engine block feeds electricity into a small substation which is connected to the existing overhead distribution line. There would also be a new below ground gas pipe connection into the existing high-pressure gas main, enclosed within a detached compound. An area has also been set aside for a hydrogen electrolysis unit.
