Welcome to Fawley Power Station

Oil Fired

Fawley Power station generates electricity using oil. It is powered by heavy fuel oil and has the ability to generate 1000MW of electricity for the National Grid system. This is enough power to meet the need of around 1 million people – equivalent to the working population of Hampshire.

Come to our power station to see…

1. the 198m high chimney, Hampshire’s tallest structure
2. the futuristic control room accessible to visitors
3. views across the turbine hall

We offer a range of guided tours and can accommodate schools, colleges, universities and community groups for students aged 8 (Year 4) and above.

We look forward to welcoming you to Fawley Power Station and helping your students to gain a real insight in to how electricity is made!
