Cockenzie power station, a closed coal-fired power station in East Lothian, Scotland. It is situated on the south shore of the Firth of Forth, near the town of Cockenzie and Port Seton, and has dominated the local coastline with its distinctive twin chimneys, since it opened in 1967. Initially operated by the nationalised South of Scotland Electricity Board, it was operated by Scottish Power since the privatisation of the industry in 1991. The 1,200 megawatt power station ceased generating energy on 15 March 2013 and is currently being dismantled by a demolition company to be replaced with a Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT) power station.
