Power Station

A NEWPORT power station will be undergoing a £200m conversion in the next two years to generate clean power and create hundreds of jobs.

Uskmouth Power Station, which has been running in Newport since the 1960s, is owned by SIMEC Energy, who have joined forces with tidal power company Atlantis Resources Limited.

Both companies have merged together to create SIMEC Atlantis Energy. The new firm will become part of Sanjeev Gupta’s GFG Alliance, which also includes Liberty Steel Newport next door to Uskmouth.
A beautiful day plenty of blue sky and sunshine, but still on the coldish side
