Background

History

The station began construction in 1952 and started generating electricity in 1958. At the time of its opening it was the largest power station in Scotland. It was initially operated by the South of Scotland Electricity Board (SSEB). The station was constructed to take advantage of post-WW2 expansion of the Fife and Lothian coalfields. Coal was supplied by Merry-go-round trains. It was capable of generating 760 MW peak load, and when commissioned could produce up to one third of Scotland's total electricity needs. It was officially opened by Queen and Duke of Edinburgh on 12 October 1960.
