Merseyside power station Bromborough (1958–1998) was also owned by Unilever and provided electricity and steam at a range of pressures to industrial users in the locality.

Construction started in 1948 on a site (53°20'04.2"N 2°57'44.5"W) adjacent to the River Mersey.The consulting engineers for the scheme were Sir Alexander Gibb & Partners.

[3] Soon after commissioning the boilers were converted to oil-firing in accordance with government policy to take advantage of differential prices between coal and oil as fuel sources.

Central power station (53°20'29.5"N 2°57'51.7"W) was built by Lever Brothers in 1918 to supply electricity for their manufacturing processes at Port Sunlight works.

[9] In the early 1930 the Central Power Station was expanded with three coal-fired boilers and a 6.25 MW generating set.

The generating plant was decommissioned in 1998[10] and most of the site was demolished, the 11 kV control room block was retained until new electricity supplies from the National Grid were installed.

[9] To help meet increased demand for electricity and steam Unilever Group built an oil-fired power station (53°20'42.9"N 2°58'33.0"W) on Thermal Road industrial estate Bromborough which was commissioned in 1958.

The new plant comprised:[9] By 1966 the Unilever network had a total generating capacity of nearly 30 MW and provided steam at 50, 110, 230 and 1,500 psi (3.4, 7.6, 15.9 and 103 bar).
