A significant milestone in sustainable power innovation
Located in Worksop, Nottinghamshire, the 10-megawatt facility is the first deployment of the FLEXPOWER PLUS® concept, which combines advanced mtu gas engine technology, high-efficiency heat recovery systems, and integrated CO₂ capture to deliver clean, efficient and flexible power and food-grade CO₂. The plant will capture up to 30,000 tons of CO₂ per year.
The power plant supplies electricity to the grid for more than 10,000 households, helping to ensure its stability. Meanwhile, the heat produced by the combined heat and power plants is utilised to support CO₂ recovery.
Michael Stipa, Senior Vice President, Business Development and Product Management, Stationary Power Solutions at Rolls-Royce Power Systems:
“FLEXPOWER PLUS® is an important step forward in decentralised energy. Its ability to deliver fast, clean, and reliable power with integrated carbon capture makes it a future-proof solution for a net-zero grid. The Rhodesia project shows what’s possible when you combine advanced engine technology with carbon-conscious design.”
Rolls-Royce has supplied six highly efficient combined heat and power plants based on mtu Series 4000 L64FNER gas engines for the power plant in Worksop and will ensure the reliable operation of the plant for ten years under a maintenance contract.
Mick Avison, Founder and CEO of Landmark Power Holdings:
“FLEXPOWER PLUS® is more than a power plant – it’s a blueprint for the future of energy generation. It brings together proven technologies in a new way to meet the UK’s need for flexible, low-carbon baseload power. The Rhodesia project marks the first full deployment of this model, and we’re proud to be leading this innovation alongside Rolls-Royce, ASCO and with the support of Victory Hill.”
Ralph Spring, Managing Director of ASCO Carbondioxide Ltd., said:
“Carbon capture has typically been seen as the domain of large industrial emitters. FLEXPOWER PLUS® brings it into smaller, distributed applications—where it can make a huge cumulative impact. As CO₂ pricing rises and net-zero targets tighten, this model is a timely and valuable solution.”
ASCO Carbondioxide Ltd. has delivered the carbon recovery system, capable of capturing and liquefying up to 30,000 tonnes of CO₂ annually. The recovered CO₂ is already being sold into the food and beverage sector, supporting circular economy principles and creating new commercial opportunities.
Axpo supplies the gas for the FLEXPOWER PLUS® gas engine power plant and acquires the generated power, thereby establishing a comprehensive route to market for both gas and electricity.
Rob Bullyment, Senior Originator of Axpo in the UK, said:
“By providing a reliable route to market for gas and power, we are able to optimise operations in response to market dynamics. Our engagement enhances the local energy landscape and supports our broader mission to facilitate the UK's transition to a more sustainable future.”
The Rhodesia site marks the first full-scale application of the FLEXPOWER PLUS® concept, which has been designed for rapid replication across the UK and internationally. Its modular approach allows for scalable deployment, helping to support the grid during periods of high renewable output volatility while capturing and utilising carbon emissions.
FLEXPOWER PLUS® represents a practical and commercially viable model for flexible, low-emission baseload power that supports the UK’s wider decarbonisation strategy.
