Former work station, Fawley power station
Former work station in the control room at Fawley power station, Hampshire, UK. This power station was built in the 1960s and two of its original four 500 MW generating units closed in the 1990s. The station now has the ability to produce 1000 MW of power, which is enough to meet the needs of around 1 million people

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the former work station in the control room at Fawley power station, located in Hampshire, UK. Steeped in history and industrial significance, this power station was constructed during the 1960s and initially operated with four 500 MW generating units. However, as time progressed and environmental concerns grew, two of these units were decommissioned in the 1990s. Today, Fawley power station stands as a testament to technological advancements and energy generation capabilities. With its current capacity to produce an impressive 1000 MW of power, it has the ability to meet the electricity needs of approximately one million people. This makes it a crucial player in fulfilling energy demands within Hampshire. The image itself captures a moment frozen in time - an abandoned control room that once buzzed with activity and played a vital role in powering communities. The equipment panels stand silently amidst remnants of an era fueled by heavy fuel oil. It serves as a reminder of our reliance on fossil fuels for energy generation while also highlighting pressing global issues such as climate change and greenhouse gas emissions. As we gaze upon this historical relic from Fawley power station's past, we are prompted to reflect on how far we have come technologically while acknowledging the urgent need for cleaner energy sources that will help reduce our carbon footprint and combat global warming effectively.
