One from October 2021 recently released for public consumption.
History
The power station was fuelled by a combination of gasses from the blast furnace and coke ovens - both by-products of the steelmaking process, supplied directly by pipeline. The resulting electricity was used to power the steelworks.
The building is a combined power station and compressor house with three sets of two turbines and compressors, each of differing designs. The compressors provided high-pressure air for the steelmaking process, injected in to the blast furnace. The oldest two of turbine sets appears to have been out of commission for some time.
