    With a newly built, 1.2GW devoted natural gas power plant, IIRC.

    Edit: 1.4GW per the article.

    Goddamn, I didn’t realise we were that far behind on solar. The potential for it is great; it’s sunny and cold.

    Edit: Oh, this is 5 years old. I should have clued in, since we don’t have coal power at all anymore.

    There’s also the problem of if the local residents could be arsed to get on a new-fangled central heating scheme. Maybe some kind of other local industry could use it - there is a kind of college there IIRC.
