Kingsnorth power station was a dual-fired coal and oil power station on the Hoo Peninsula at Medway in Kent, South East England. The four-unit station was operated by energy firm E.ON UK, and had a generating capacity of 2,000 megawatts.[4] It was capable of operating on either coal or oil, though in practice oil was used only as a secondary fuel or for startup.[5] It was also capable of co-firing biofuel, up to a maximum of 10% of the station's fuel mix.[4] A replacement power station, also coal-fired, was considered by owners E.ON, but plans were abandoned. The proposed replacement attracted substantial public protests and criticism, including the 2008 Camp for Climate Action.
