That would be Dynorwig Power Station - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dinorwig_Power_Station - it can come fully on-line incredibly rapidly - 0 to 1,320 MW in 12 seconds - incredibly impressive to visit as the power station itself is buried deep in a mountain - went there some years ago when the kids were little. Partly as a result of that visit, my younger son is now doing a Civil Engineering degree :) Nick -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
