Pŵer Carbon Isel Cei Connah

Bodloni’r angen am gynhyrchu trydan carbon isel, hyblyg
Ymgynghoriad Anstatudol - ffurflen adborth

Dydd Llun 26 Chwefror 2024 i ddydd Llun 25 Mawrth 2024

Cyflwyniad

Mae Uniper yn bwriadu datblygu gorsaf bŵer carbon isel newydd, hynod effeithlon gyda thechnoleg dal carbon yn ei safle yng Nghei Connah yn Sir y Fflint, Gogledd Cymru. Pe bai’n cael caniatâd ac yn cael ei ddatblygu, byddai’r prosiect yn gallu cynhyrchu pŵer carbon isel yn hyblyg ac yn ddibynadwy er mwyn diwallu’r angen cynyddol am drydan, pryd bynnag y bydd ei angen.

Os rhoddir caniatâd, disgwylir i'r orsaf bŵer newydd gael ei datblygu mewn dau gam; gyda chapasiti cychwynnol o hyd at 550MW o bŵer carbon isel, gan ehangu’n ddiweddarach i 1.1GW.

O gwblhau cam un, gallai’r prosiect gyflenwi digon o drydan i bweru’r hyn sy’n cyfateb i hyd at 1.4 miliwn o gartrefi bob blwyddyn. Gallai cam un fod yn weithredol erbyn 2030.

Rydym yn ymgynghori ar ein prosiect arfaethedig o Ddydd Llun 26 Chwefror 2024 i ddydd Llun 25 Mawrth 2024. Mae’r ymgynghoriad hwn yn rhoi cyfle i chi roi adborth a gwybodaeth yn gynnar, cyn i waith dylunio manylach gael ei wneud.

Yn dilyn y rownd hon o ymgysylltu, bydd cyfle pellach, ffurfiol i roi sylwadau ar ein cynigion yn ein hymgynghoriad statudol cyn cyflwyno ein cais am orchymyn cydsyniad datblygu i’r Arolygiaeth Gynllunio.

This section of the feedback form relates to information contained in the introduction and project background sections of the Consultation Brochure. The questions relate to the reason that Uniper is considering developing a new low carbon power station and the potential benefits that it could bring.

Uniper is proposing to develop a new combined cycle gas turbine power station with carbon capture technology, known as the Connah’s Quay Low Carbon Power (CQLCP) project. This would help ensure we continue to provide flexible and reliable electricity generation, whilst capturing carbon emissions and supporting the UK’s transition to a low carbon energy system.

Need for the project

1. Please indicate whether you agree or disagree with the following statement: Climate change is an important issue and action should be taken to address it.







2. Please indicate whether you agree or disagree with the following statement: The UK needs to develop new low carbon gas fired power stations, alongside an increased roll out of other low carbon technologies such as wind, solar and nuclear, to ensure secure and stable supplies of electricity at all times.







3. Based on the information you have seen so far, do you support the development of new gas fired power stations with carbon capture and storage technology?







4. At this early stage of the project, do you support the development of a new gas fired low carbon power station, with carbon capture and storage technology at Connah’s Quay?







5. Which of the potential benefits of Connah’s Quay do you think are the most important? Please rank each option in order of importance, with 1 as the ‘most important’, to 4 as the ‘least important’, or select ‘I don’t think any of these are benefits’.

In particular, are there any possible impacts or issues relating to the proposed location that we should be aware of? Please provide any additional comments below.

Section Four: The proposals for Connah’s Quay Low Carbon Power

This section of the feedback form relates to information contained in the Our Proposals section of the Consultation Brochure. The questions relate to the infrastructure that Uniper is considering developing as part of Connah’s Quay Low Carbon Power project.

The project is at an early stage of development, and our proposals may be subject to change, but it is initially expected to consist of:

  • a new 1.1 GW combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) power station;
  • integrated carbon capture technology to enable CO2 emissions from the CCGT to be collected; and
  • a connection to regional CO2 infrastructure as part of the HyNet industrial cluster, which would enable the captured CO2 to be transported to permanent offshore storage facilities in repurposed depleted offshore gas fields.

1. Based on the information that has been provided, do you support the development of a new gas fired power station with carbon capture technology, which would be able to flexibly and reliably generate low carbon electricty to meet the growing need for power, whenever it is required?







Please use the space below to explain your answer.

2. Do you have any other comments relating to the initial proposals to develop a combined cycle gas turbine power station? In particular are there any possible impacts or issues relating to the proposed technology that we should be aware of. Please provide any additional comments below.

3. Based on the information you have been provided, do you support the development of carbon capture and storage technology, which would capture up to 95% of the CO2 emissions from the proposed power station and store them permanently in repurposed depleted offshore gas fields?







Please use the space below to explain your answer.
