Detail InformationEdit

Barking Power Station refers to a series of power stations at former and current sites within the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham in East London. The original power station site, of the coal-fired A, B and C stations, was at River Road, Creekmouth, on the north bank of The River Thames. These stations were decommissioned by the end of the 1980s and have since been demolished. The current gas-fired power station (originally generally known as Barking Reach Power Station) was built further down the Thames near Dagenham Dock in the early 1990s.
Prior to the construction of Barking A Power Station, Barking Urban District Council had operated its own small power station near to their offices since 1897. This station operated until 1927. The County of London Electric Supply Company applied for permission to build a power station capable of expansion to 600MW, at Barking in 1920. The “A” Station had 12 x 20MW generators and 24 boilers. These were in two boiler houses, one being all chain grate boilers and the other being all pulverised fuel boilers. They opened Barking Power Station at Creekmouth in 1925. In 1927 it took over from the Barking Urban District Council station, to provide a bulk electricity supply. When completed the A station was the largest power station in Britain to be built as a complete station at one time.
