St James Power Station is a building located in HarbourFront, Singapore. Built in 1926, it was Singapore's first power station, having supplied electricity to the nearby port and the surrounding industries, shipyards and residences. It was previously also the one and only coal-fired power plant in the country.
After it was decommissioned in the 1970s, it became a warehouse and subsequently a major music-themed nightlife venue until 2018.[1] In 2009, St James Power Station was designated as one of the country's national monuments by the National Heritage Board.
It is currently used as the headquarters for the technological company Dyson as well as being the site of a heritage trail and gallery tour dedicated to Singapore's port and industrial history.[2][3][4]
