- Other statutory consultees
Thurrock Power, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Statera Energy, submitted an application to the Secretary of State for development consent to construct and operate a flexible generation and storage power plant known as Thurrock Flexible Generation Plant, in May 2020. That application was accepted by the Secretary of State, via the Planning Inspectorate, in June 2020 and given the reference EN010092. The application is now in the examination stage. If development consent is granted for the Thurrock Flexible Generation Plant, the plant will be developed on land to the south west of Station Road, near Tilbury in Essex. The London Resort has stated in its Relevant Representation relating to the Thurrock Flexible Generation Plant DCO application, that approximately 25% of London Resort's visitor road traffic is expected to be accommodated at the Port of Tilbury. There is therefore potential for the construction and operation of the London Resort project to have an impact on the Thurrock Flexible Generation Plant project and vice versa. Thurrock Power therefore wishes to register as an interested party and reserves the right to make further submissions in due course.
