The Wilton power station refers to a series of coal, oil, gas and biomass fired CHP power stations which provide electricity and heat for the Wilton International Complex, with excess electricity being sold to the National Grid.

It is located on the Wilton site in Redcar and Cleveland, south of the town of Middlesbrough in North East England.

[3] The station has been approved as a "Good quality" combined heat and power plant under the CHPQA registration scheme.

[4][6][9] Each of the two coal-fired generating sets are powered by a high pressure boiler, which are each capable of producing a continuous maximum rate of 280 tonnes per hour of steam, at 1,700 psig.

[4] In late 2003, plans to install a 40 MW gas turbine at the station were finally fulfilled, after they were put off because of then owner Enron's bankruptcy.

[3] In October 2003, SembCorp applied to the Environment Agency for permission to burn 110,000 tonnes of cow fat (tallow) from the carcasses of animals slaughtered during the BSE Crisis of 1996.

[7] SembCorp announced plans to build the UK's first wood-only burning power station in March 2005.

[5][7] It began generating electricity in September 2007, but was officially opened on 12 November 2007 by Energy Minister Malcolm Wicks.

[5] The station burns 300,000 tonnes of a combination of sustainable wood, sawmill waste and otherwise unusable wood offcuts a year to produce 30 megawatts (MW) of electricity, as well as 10 MW of thermal energy in the form of steam, which is piped for use in the rest of the Wilton complex.

[14] The plant began operation in late May 2016 and burns the compacted domestic waste of Merseyside brought by rail from Knowsley, near Liverpool.
