What's CCGT, please? presumably gas?


Yes, combined cycle gas turbine, e.g gas turbine running one generator,
the heat from which feeds a steam turbine running a second generator.
Alternativley both turbines could be on the same shaft feeding a single
generator.

Modern ones typically are like that.

Very neat, very compact, and surprisingly cheap to install.

Not that cheap to run, especially in whores drawers mode.
