Fife Power Station was a 120 megawatt gas fired combined cycle gas turbine generating station at Cardenden in Fife, Scotland.
It was a 1+1 configuration module built around a 74 MW General Electric Frame 6F gas turbine providing for a combined cycle output of 109MW, exhaust duct firing is employed to reach the stations maximum output.[citation needed]
It was purchased in 2004 by Scottish and Southern Energy [SSE] for £12.3 million, temporarily securing the future of the 10 staff who worked there at the time.[1]
Investigations took place in 2007 into the feasibility of burning used car tyres in Fife, environmental legislations precluded this however.[citation needed]
The plant closed in March 2011.[2]
