One explanation would be that this appears to be a combined heat and power installation [0][1]. These may not have higher thermal efficiency in generating electricity than grid sources, but as the waste heat from that cycle is used productively it reduces the overall energy demands. This is particularly the case in regions that don't have district heating, as I believe East Anglia does not.
