Data for 2010

 Last year Deeside generated approximately 2969 GWh.
 Enough to meet the needs of about half a million people.

In order to generate this electricity Deeside burnt
451,186 tonnes of natural gas

This gas is delivered at a pressure of 26 bar.

Emissions to air:
CO – 447 tonnes, CO2 – 1,170,700 tonnes,
NOx – 1251 tonnes, SO2 – 13.5 tonnes

We abstracted 3,210,544 m3 of water from the River Dee.

This is to condense the steam from the steam turbine. Some of this water evaporates in the towers.

We returned almost 1,439,053 m3 a few degrees warmer but within defined limits.

We used 104,520 m3 of town mains water last year for generating steam to produce electricity from the steam turbine.

Total waste produced: 116 tonnes
Waste recycled: 44 tonnes
