Located 30 miles east of London on the River Thames, Coryton power station is a flexible natural gas fired CCGT plant that began commercial operation in 2002.

Sited next to the new London Gateway Port and Logistics park, one of the largest UK infrastructure projects in last 10 years, the plant recently commissioned a private wire connection to the Port capable of delivering 75MW of power.

In 2026, Coryton completed a successful high efficiency upgrade of its two GT26 turbines, resulting in higher-than-expected unit efficiency and increased station output from 800MW to 850MW.
