The station's six 46 megawatt (MW) generating units were brought into operation between 1949 and 1952. The station's boilers burned bituminous coal until it closed in 1985. The station was then demolished in November 1994. The station was demolished by MJ Finnigan & Co. In 1997, a 7,500 square metre bulk storage shed was built on the site of the power station.
