Grain Power Station opened in 1979. The site closed by December 2012 and the chimney which was the second tallest in the United Kingdom was demolished on 7th September 2016. A new Combined Cycle Gas Turbine plant capable of generating enough electricity to supply around one million homes has now been constructed on the site - see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grain_Power_Station and https://www.power-technology.com/projects/isleofgrain/
