EPUKI Comment on T-4 Capacity Market Auction Results
Following the publication of the results of the latest T-4 capacity auction for the Single Electricity Market, it has been confirmed that EPUKI has secured contracts for its existing CCGT and OCGT units at Ballylumford and OCGT units at Kilroot power station. In addition, Kilroot has been successful in securing a ten year contract for new gas generation intended to replace existing coal units.
A spokesperson for EPUKI commented:
‘’We are delighted that all units have been successful in the most recent T-4 auction meaning that new, flexible, low carbon gas generation can be developed on the Kilroot site’’
‘’This will ensure the transition towards low carbon generation as well as protecting security and stability of supply for Northern Ireland through the continuation of indigenous generation.’’
