How it will look
Power stations are inevitably large buildings because they have to house extensive machinery. However, RWE npower is committed to limiting the visual intrusion of any new power station that it may build.
This includes giving careful consideration to the impact of colour, location and height of all significant buildings. Where possible, designs would be tailored to ensure any effect of the power station is kept to a minimum.
The new CCGT plant would be constructed on the former power station site, owned by RWE npower, and the main buildings would be located on the low-lying ground to the south west of the former oil-fired power station.
Modern CCGT power stations are compact facilities compared to older stations and the new plant would be smaller, and therefore have a significantly lower visual impact, than the former oil-fired Pembroke power station.
The new power station would have five stack and would be ‘goose wing grey’ in colour to ensure it blends in with the skyline and minimise its visual impact. This would be supported by landscaping and the planting of mature trees to provide screening. Following construction, an extensive planting programme would take place.
