Commissioned by Plutus PowerGen,
a specialist energy generation
business focusing on flexible energy
solutions for the National Grid, Dyer
& Butler has completed the first
of Plutus PowerGen�s Short Term
Operating Reserve (STOR) stations.
The project, handed over to
Plutus PowerGen, allowed the site
to become operational for last
year�s high demand peak periods.
Located in a new facility at the
former Toshiba television factory
in Plymouth, Dyer & Butler has
undertaken the civil engineering
work required to prepare the
site for the installation of 50
diesel generators. This work has
included access roads, concrete
hard standing, site drainage, and
the facility that houses the sites
connectivity to the National Grid.
This short term operating reserve
has become one of National Grid�s
essential tools for adding power
to the grid when needed. During
periods when reserve power is
needed, or power stations have
reduced output, National Grid calls
upon STOR providers like Plutus
PowerGen to supplement demand.
