No, apparently when they crunched the numbers it used  more parasitic power than it produced.

Also a couple of engines blew up, the boiler was using waste heat from the engines as well. I went to Regionals in 1986 and one of the first projects was to remove it.

They did get a lot of leading edge technology on solar tracking, from the parabolic mirrors following the sun.


I've walked around the site way too many times.  😂


It was well located, right over the road from the pub, now the station has been replaced with LNG units.


I've got some old pictures from the Regionals days, I will post up a couple when I get home tomorrow, it will give members an idea of what the diesel power stations are like.  ;)
