Willington Power Station is a pair of partly demolished coal-fired power stations that were constructed in the 1950s. The two stations were built on a site off Twyford Road, between Willington and Twyford in Derbyshire, England. The two power stations had an installed capacity totaling 804 MW. The two stations consisted of the 'A' Station, and the 'B' Station.[1]
