Projects in the United Kingdom

Current Uniper projects

We’re working with partners and industry to identify innovative solutions to decarbonise our existing assets, and to explore ways to use our expertise, and our sites in strategic locations, to help support the transition to a low carbon energy system.

We are also developing master plans that will enable the redevelopment and regeneration of our former power station sites, and those scheduled for closure, to give them a viable future.

To find out more about our projects across the UK, please take a look at our projects listed below. If you have any questions or comments, please use the contact information provided on the relevant project website.

Carbon Capture

Uniper aims to be carbon-neutral by 2040*. To achieve this, we are transforming our power plants and facilities and investing in flexible, dispatchable power generating units.

We are exploring the potential development of new gas-fired power stations with carbon capture technology with our Low Carbon Power projects at some of our sites, including Connah's Quay in Flintshire and Killingholme in the heart of the UK's industrial Humber region.

Hydrogen

Uniper aims to be carbon-neutral by 2040*. The company is gradually adding renewable and low carbon gases to its gas portfolio and is developing a hydrogen portfolio with the aim of a long-term transition.

As part of this Uniper is exploring the potential development of low carbon hydrogen production and hydrogen storage here in the UK. Our Humber H₂ub® (Green) project is a proposed large scale, low carbon hydrogen production facility at Uniper's Killingholme site, and our Salinae Hydrogen Storage project explores the potential development of a salt cavern hydrogen storage facility in Cheshire.

Renewables

In the UK, Uniper is exploring opportunities to potentially develop renewable projects with a focus on solar and onshore wind projects, which for some projects could also include the installation of battery storage facilities. Investments in these solar and wind developments are part of Uniper’s commitment to invest around €8 billion into growth and transformation projects until the early 2030s and our focus on the development of our ever-growing European portfolio of solar and onshore wind projects, helping deliver the company’s aim to accelerate the transition to a decarbonised future.

Site Redevelopments

We are developing master plans that will enable the redevelopment and regeneration of our former power station sites, and those scheduled for closure, to give them a viable future.
