Glanford Brigg Power Station (also known as Brigg Power Station) is a gas-fired power station in North Lincolnshire, England, capable of firing diesel instead of natural gas. It is situated on the River Ancholme, beside the Sheffield to Lincoln Line, outside the town of Brigg, with its name coming from the former name for the town. It has a generating capacity of 240 megawatts (MW).
Opened in 1993, the station was originally operated by Finnish company Fortum, but is now operated by Centrica. There are currently plans to build a straw fueled renewable energy plant alongside the station.
