The Coryton Power Station is a key infrastructure asset in United Kingdom's power generation grid, located on the continent of Europe. Designated as a renewable electricity generation station, the facility features an installed capacity of 0 MW. Its primary operation relies on harnessing wind energy resources to generate bulk electricity. Operational management and ownership of the facility are handled by the Coryton Energy Limited, which oversees daily maintenance and grid dispatch integration. The facility was officially connected to the commercial grid in 2000, since which it has maintained regular output, playing a structured role in domestic power supply security. In terms of domestic production capacity within United Kingdom, Coryton Power Station occupies the #805 position among all operational wind power plants. Its 0 MW capacity represents a 0.00% share of United Kingdom's total installed wind generating capacity, which currently stands at 31,160 MW. The largest operational wind installation in United Kingdom is the Hornsea 1 - Heron & Njord with an output of 1,200 MW, making the Coryton Power Station approximately 1.0 times smaller by comparison. Across all fuel types and electricity generation technologies country-wide, this facility accounts for 0.0000% of United Kingdom's aggregate generation capacity of 155,300 MW. Based on historical capacity factors characteristic of wind power plants (modeled at 30% for analysis), the facility's expected annual electricity generation is calculated at approximately 0 MWh. Applying domestic consumption statistics where an average household in United Kingdom consumes 4 MWh of electricity annually, this level of production is sufficient to meet the energy demands of roughly 0 homes. As a clean and sustainable energy project, Coryton Power Station contributes to the direct displacement of greenhouse gases, preventing substantial quantities of carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere and helping United Kingdom advance toward its renewable energy integration targets. The physical site of the station is located at geographic coordinates 51.5120° latitude and 0.5080° longitude. Analysis of local grid infrastructure shows a density of other assets within a 50-kilometer radius. These nearby facilities include Tilbury power stations (coal, 1,788 MW), Grain CHP (cogeneration, 1,404 MW), Damhead Creek (gas, 805 MW), representing a cluster of localized power assets. This geographic placement is vital for reinforcing regional distribution infrastructure and minimizing transmission line losses across this sector of United Kingdom.
