  1. 'A' station was commissioned in 1955, with its capacity of 240MW, work was already starting on its larger 480MW sister, 'B' Station. The £23 Million project was considered a great technological advancement in its day. Rapid progress was being made with the development of larger boilers and generator units. 120MW units were planned for 'B' station, which was commissioned in 1959.

    The third, final and largest stage of the build was then underway with the construction of 'C' station. Work began in 1962 and took two years to build. With 6 larger cooling towers and four generators, it dwarfed both 'A' and 'B' stations put together
