Damhead Creek Power Station, located on the Hoo Peninsula in Kent, is a 792 MW combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) plant that began operating in February 2001. It stands near the former Kingsnorth Power Station site and plays a key role in the region’s electricity generation.

The station was commissioned by Entergy, designed and built by Raytheon Engineers and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, which also supplied the turbines. It later changed ownership several times—sold to Scottish Power in 2004, then acquired by Drax Generation Enterprise in 2018, and finally by VPI Holding (part of Vitol) in 2020.

Fuelled by natural gas supplied through a 3 km pipeline, the plant uses two Mitsubishi 701F turbines linked to a single 216 MW steam turbine via NEM heat recovery steam generators. It operates at around 55% efficiency, with low-NOx burners to minimise emissions. Exhaust gases are released through twin 75-metre chimneys, while an air-cooled condenser with 36 fans recycles steam into water for reuse, supporting cleaner, efficient power production.
