Skelton Grange Power Station refers to two now-demolished coal fired power stations (Skelton Grange 'A' and Skelton Grange 'B') that served the city of Leeds and surrounding areas. They were located in the Stourton area of the city. The power stations were built in the early 1950s and early 1960s,[1] taken out of use in 1983 and 1994[2] and subsequently dismantled but the associated 275 kV switching substation was retained and remains in use.
