Client: Isle 0f Anglesey County Council.

Project: Preparation of presentation material in support of a proposed CCGT power station, Energy Park and associated support infrastructure developments.

Date: October 2000.

During the Government's stricter consents policy in 1999 and 2000, a successful case was made for the development of a new gas-fired power station (CCGT) in the north of the Isle of Anglesey. Having worked on the technical and economic studies used in making this case, ess consulting was asked to prepare a non-technical briefing presentation for senior officials in the IoACC, the WDA and other stakeholders. This was needed to explain the complex interrelationships between the proposed CCGT station, the integral use of heat and power by existing and proposed industrial consumers and the potential impact on existing services and communications infrastructure.

Stylised line diagrams helped to explain the complex inter-relationship between the various key elements of the development strategy.
Possible Energy Park layouts were developed to highlight the implications for road and rail communications, services, wastewater and waste disposal.
Photomontages gave a typical impression of the landscape effects from key viewing points.
