A Working One Hundred Year Old Power Station

You may think that it is a bit unusual that a power station commissioned in 1902 is still generating electricity.

Greenwich Power Station

Greenwich Power Station is quite small with the chimneys just fifty-five metres high.

Admittedly, it is only a standby power station these days and uses modern gas turbines to generate the electricity rather than the original steam engines.

There’s some more information and pictures here.
