Yorkshire-headquartered Smith Brothers Contracting Ltd is well underway with the design, build and energisation of a 20MW gas peaking power plant in Ebbw Vale, Wales, on behalf of developer Quinbrook Infrastructure Partners. The five-month project, due to be connected to the Western Power Distribution (WPD) network in February 2021, will see electrical engineering specialist Smith Brothers managing all EPC works, alongside the balance of plant for the private network - which encompasses all supporting components and auxiliary systems needed to deliver the energy, alongside the generation units themselves. With a highly skilled team tasked with the delivery, the scope of works include full civil and electrical design, procurement of electrical equipment for the private network, construction of the gas peaking power plant, installation of switchgear, transformers and generators, and final testing of all components prior to energisation.
