Coolkeeragh power station is a power station near Derry in Northern Ireland.

The station produces 400 megawatts from a gas-fired combined cycle power plant, constructed on the site of the old Coolkeeragh power station. Ownership of the plant was shared between Coolkeeragh Power Ltd and ESB International (ESBI) but it is now solely owned by ESB International (ESBI), a subsidiary of ESB.

Gas is supplied to the station by a pipeline that also serves many towns in Northern Ireland.
