Nant Power Station - The power station: interior

The access tunnel opens into the brightly-lit machine hall, which is, it has to be said, a little tatty, and showing its age in places - this station is due for refurbishment.

Looking back up the access tunnel. Switchgear and controls to either side, access tunnel curves away towards the surface.

Looking past the generator, the stair to the turbine floor can be seen, and beyond that the excavation at the rear of the station where the dewatering and cooling pumps and systems are located.

From a similar point of view, looking down.

Another view looking down the stairway, the MIV behind.

...and the turbine floor. Turbine guide vane actuators are below the covers surrounding the base of the shaft.
