Although it's location dependant Debs, it's just the sort of big project we excelled at :y

It’s lovely to see engineering on this scale.  Do we still have the talent.... or the will....or the foresight? :-/ :-/

Looking at the list of contractors, no!

Has its place though.  Having said that, with Six Units at drax providing frequency responce, we can provide an extra 660MW in 10 seconds  ::)
