History
It was formerly the Westfield Development Centre of British Gas. In 1992 Fife Energy bought the site in a £10m deal.[1] A combined-cycle gas turbine plant began commercial operation in January 2001.
[2] It was purchased in 2004 by Scottish and Southern Energy (SSE) for £12.3 million, temporarily securing the future of the 10 staff who worked there at the time.[3]
Investigations took place in 2007 into the feasibility of burning used car tyres in Fife, environmental legislations precluded this however.[citation needed]
