The agreement will see the £500 million ($1 billion) 1,275MW power station built under a turnkey contract by Alstom on the Thames estuary island.
The station will be powered by three Alstom GT26 gas turbines and will export up to 340 MW of heat to National Grid’s nearby LNG terminal for regasification.
Work will start at Grain in May this year, with commissioning expected late in 2009.
