Hams Hall Power Station refers to a series of three, now demolished coal-fired power stations, situated in Warwickshire in the West Midlands of England, 9 miles (14 km) northwest of Birmingham city centre.

Birmingham Corporation Electricity Supply Committee thought Hams Hall a suitable site to build a power station because of a ready supply of water in the Tame Valley, and nearness to the Warwickshire Coalfield and the Midland Railway.

It was felt the Nechells power station under construction in 1919 would only have sufficient capacity to meet the needs of Birmingham for ten years.

[1] Hams Hall Power Station was constructed by the municipally owned City of Birmingham Electricity Supply Department[2] on the site in 1928.

It was used to assess the suitability of aircraft gas turbine generators for meeting peak-load and emergency requirements.

Before war was declared cables nearby were damaged by explosives – a rare example of possible sabotage.

The Home Guard website records both power station sites were attacked (minus details).

With its completion the two stations formed the greatest concentration of generating plant in Europe.

[18] The combined Hams Hall "A" and "B" stations were nationalised on 1 April 1948 under the terms of the Electricity Act, 1947.

[22][23] In October 1968 permission for the conversion was refused due to difficulties in the coal industry.

[26] After closure and demolition of the power stations an industrial estate was constructed on the site.

[27] The site is still owned by E.ON, the current form of PowerGen, and known as Hams Hall Distribution Park.
