List of active gas fired power stations in the United Kingdom
Laney116: ←Created page with 'There are currently 37 active gas fired Combined cycle power plants operating in the United Kingdom which have a total generating...'
There are currently 37 active gas fired [[Combined cycle power plant|Combined cycle power plants]] operating in the United Kingdom which have a total generating capacity of 30.5GW. <ref></ref>
For details of remaining coal fired generation in the UK refer to [[List of active coal fired power stations in the United Kingdom|List of active coal fired power stations in the United Kingdom.]]
== Decline of gas for power in the United Kingdom ==
In 2016 gas fired power stations generated a total of 127TWh of electricity, this has dropped to 119TWh in 2017, 115TWh in 2018 and 104TWh in 2019.<ref></ref>
The decline in total gas generation is largely due to increase in renewables out passing the decline of coal and an overall reduction in demand.<ref></ref>
== List of active gas power stations ==
The below list is compiled from chapter 5 of the Digest of UK Energy Statistics (DUKES): electricity report.<ref></ref>
