Tamar Valley 210 281,615 5 Natural gas Yes

These three entries correspond to the identical site at various phases — initial operation, transition to gas fuel, and turbine enhancements — which ceased operation after 2009.

Gas (reciprocating)

Stations in this group employ gas combustion within reciprocating engines to generate electricity.
