In 1963 it had an installed capacity of 160 MW consisting of two 30 MW British Thomson-Houston and two 50 MW Metropolitan-Vickers turbine-generator sets dating from 1950. At that time the steam, at a pressure 625 psi was generated by 11 coal fired boilers using either 'chain-grates' or 'travelling grates' according to the type of boiler. The station was decommissioned in 1976.
