Teddington supplies complex steam bellows to Torness Nuclear Power Station

Torness Nuclear Power Station, Scotland's last operating nuclear plant, has been a major focus of recent news due to an operating lifespan extension until 2030 (from an original 2028 date).

In December 2024, its operator announced a two-year extension of the operating life for Torness (and Heysham 2 in Lancashire) until March 2030, citing energy security needs and a desire to bridge the gap before the new Hinkley Point C plant comes online. The company has also expressed an ambition to potentially operate beyond 2030, subject to further inspections and regulatory approval.

The station, which employs around 550 people directly, has been confirmed as Scotland's most productive low-carbon electricity generator, making a significant contribution to the Scottish economy and energy mix.

Teddington Engineered Solutions was approached with designing, manufacturing, testing and supplying large complex expansion joints for transporting high-temperature steam media to spin the turbines generating electricity to the grid.

Teddington takes pride in its long history in the civil nuclear sector, providing clean energy to homes and industry across the UK and the wider world.
