Taylors Lane Power Station

Taylors Lane Power Station is situated in Willesden, north-west London.

Taylors Lane is now an open cycle gas turbine (OCGT) power station built in 1979.

The first, coal-fired, station was built in 1904 by Willesden Urban District Council and sold to the North Metropolitan Electric Power Supply Company (Northmet) in 1904.

[3] By 1961 the installed capacity was 11.5 MW; the station produced 1.076 GWh in that year and had a thermal efficiency of 5.91 per cent.

[13] It can be operated remotely from Enfield Power Station and has two generator GEC Gas Turbine Quad Olympus units fired on gas-oil with a capacity of 132 MW.

[14] In 2011, in the Lost episode of series 14 of the BBC thriller Silent Witness, a body is found in a lane beside the power station.
