Background
History
It was formerly the Westfield Development Centre of British Gas. In 1992 Fife Energy bought the site in a £10m deal. A combined-cycle gas turbine plant began commercial operation in January 2001. It was purchased in 2004 by Scottish and Southern Energy (SSE) for £12.3 million, temporarily securing the future of the 10 staff who worked there at the time. Investigations took place in 2007 into the feasibility of burning used car tyres in Fife, environmental legislations precluded this however. The plant closed in March 2011.
