How electricity is generated

Here's a PDF of my 1999 feature 'From Pipelines to Pylons' which described the story of UK electricity generation and delivery, from North Sea gas through to the 230V outlet in your home - and everything in between.

From Pipelines to Pylons (PDF)

I featured the then-new, but now demolished, Killingholme 'B' CCGT power station when I was a guest of National Power during the station's annual shutdown. This was an ideal opportunity to explore the entire station with all its inner workings laid bare. Very rare photos of gas turbine maintenance were included.

The PDF is a print dump of my web-enabled version that I originally hosted on my now defunct epemag.net website.
