Tata Steel has installed new 30-megawatt generator at Tata Steel's Port Talbot site in South Wales. This will reduce its energy bill by millions of pounds every year at a time when energy prices are rocketing. The generator has been installed in a new turbine hall, as part of a wider 37 million pounds investment at the site's power station.
The huge generator also includes environmental benefits as more process gases from the blast furnaces, steelmaking plant and coke ovens can be converted into ‘useful energy’ - reducing emissions from external power generation by more than 40,000 tonnes of carbon-dioxide (CO2) a year.
Tata Steel, the flagship company of the Tata group is the first integrated steel plant in Asia and is now the world’s second most geographically diversified steel producer and a Fortune 500 company.
