Site profile
Wylfa power station, located on a 50 hectare site on the north coast of Anglesey has two Magnox design nuclear reactors and four turbine generators, still in operation today. Wylfa meets more than 40% of Wales' electricity needs and on a typical day, the station supplies 23 million kilowatt hours of electricity, enough to meet the needs of two cities the size of Liverpool and Manchester put together.
Our primary objective at the site as the tier 1 management and operations contractor is to continue to generate electricity to the national grid for public consumption as well as maximise economic return, while maintaining a safe and secure working environment. At the same time, we are preparing the power station for a seamless transition to the defuelling phase, the start of the power station’s decommissioning programme.
Magnox North is the management and operations contractor responsible for the day-to-day operation of the site under contract to the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority.
