  • Die Forth Banks Power Station war ein 1890 in Betrieb genommenes Kohlekraftwerk in der Innenstadt von Newcastle upon Tyne, North East England. Das Kraftwerk wurde in einer aufgelassenen Fabrik eingerichtet und war weltweit das erste Kraftwerk welches mit Turbosätzen, einer festen Kombination von einer Dampfturbine mit einem elektrischen Generator, ausgestattet war. Das Kraftwerk war weiters das erste öffentliche Kraftwerk in England und wurde von der betrieben. Zu der Zeit waren öffentliche Kraftwerke ungewöhnlich, da Fabriken über eigene Kraftzentralen verfügten. (de)

  • Forth Banks Power Station refers to a now-demolished coal-fired power station in North East England. It was situated in the city centre of Newcastle upon Tyne on Forth Banks, a street to the rear of Newcastle Central station. Put up in a disused factory building in 1890 by the Newcastle and District Electric Lighting Company (DisCo), it is notable as the first power station in the world to use turbo alternators, as well as being one of the first municipal power stations in the United Kingdom. In its seventeen-year operating history, the station used various pieces of generating equipment and so had various generating capacities. It ceased to be used following an expansion of the nearby Close Power Station in 1907. (en)
