Would a generating station be considered a Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project (NSIP) if it does not have the intention to link up to the national grid?

Cyngor a roddwyd

The thresholds for Generating stations to be considered a NSIPs are stated in section 15 of the Planning Act 2008.
A generating station is within the remit of the IPC if: a) it will be located in England or Wales and b) has a capacity more than 50MW (for onshore developments).

This section of the Act has no provisions for connection to the national grid.
