Summary

Description
English: Wakefield power station was a coal fired power station serving the City of Wakefield in West Yorkshire.

The power station consisted of two units, A and B. What became Wakefield A was constructed before World War II. Wakefield B was constructed between 1955 and 1957. It generated 224MW and was closed down in 1991. It was demolished in 1994.

The power station was situated on the southern bank of the Aire & Calder Navigation just east of the point where the railway line (originally built by the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway in 1848) from Wakefield Kirkgate to Oakenshaw junction crosses the navigation.
