A Trip Round Fibropower, Eye - July 1992
The world's first-ever "chicken-shit" power station opens in Eye - just up the road from Nosher's gaff. Upon commissioning, the operating company throw open the doors for local residents to come and poke around for a few hours and scope out the operation. A gang from the pub decide to go and have a look-see - after all, it's something to do, and there was the worry that the smoke might be a nuisance (the chimney was subsequently extended so that the smoke would blow further away :-)

The end result: a 12.7 megawatt generator. It seems odd that such a relatively large complex is required for such a small generator |
