Aire valley power station may refer to one or all of three power stations on the River Aire in Yorkshire, England:
* Ferrybridge C power station (1966–2016)
* Eggborough power station (1967–2018)
* Drax power station (1974–present) By the 1990s, the three power stations generated 20% of Britain's electricity, and contributed 56% of the Yorkshire and Humber region's greenhouse gas emissions, primarily CO2 (~2010). In 2006 the combined generating capacity was approximately 8 GW (Ferrybridge C, 2 GW; Eggborough, 2 GW, Drax 4 GW).

| - Aire valley power station may refer to one or all of three power stations on the River Aire in Yorkshire, England:
* Ferrybridge C power station (1966–2016)
* Eggborough power station (1967–2018)
* Drax power station (1974–present) By the 1990s, the three power stations generated 20% of Britain's electricity, and contributed 56% of the Yorkshire and Humber region's greenhouse gas emissions, primarily CO2 (~2010). In 2006 the combined generating capacity was approximately 8 GW (Ferrybridge C, 2 GW; Eggborough, 2 GW, Drax 4 GW). The power stations were built during the post-Beeching era, close to the Selby Coalfield which supplied them via Gascoigne Wood until the field's closure at the beginning of the 21st century. Thereafter, coal was imported to fuel the power stations, much of it through the Humber ports (primarily Immingham, also Port of Hull) and other east coast ports (Redcar, Tyne, Blyth). Further coal was supplied from open cast coal mines in Ayrshire, Scotland, as well as being imported via Scotland (Hunterston Terminal). Ferrybridge and Eggborough power stations were scheduled to close in March 2016. Ferrybridge closed according to schedule on 31 March 2016, while Eggborough continued to operate for almost two more years before being decommissioned in February 2018. By 2022, Ferrybridge and Eggborough were fully demolished. (en)
