Last hours of coal and oil-fired power generation before Didcot A Power Station closes. Gas-powered Didcot B continues, but does not use the cooling towers. The last of the steam before shut-down the next day.
EXPLORE - thanks all! Strangely, this other shot is getting a lot more hits:

A towering windmill stands tall against a moody, overcast sky, symbolizing the balance between nature and technology. The dramatic clouds add depth, while the sleek turbine blades capture the essence of clean, renewable energy. This image reflects sustainability, modern engineering, and the power of wind harnessed for a greener future.

Found myself wide awake at about 3 am and decided to go back to the Altamont Pass wind farms. The moon wasn't full but it was still putting out enough light. I intended to go back and catch some sleep after shooting under moonlight then I saw these silhouettes against the early morning sky so had to stay and shoot.
This water wheel was brought from Galway, New York to the town of Arietta, in New York's Adirondack mountains to provide electrical power for a hotel called Avery's Inn. Unfortunately the wheel only provided 95 amps of electricity instead of the required 120 so the wheel was relieved of its duties and sits at its site yet today and rusts. Arietta, New York. www.hamilton.nygenweb.net/misc/AveryHotel.html

Metropolitan-Vickers were one of the major UK electrical manufacturers and were based at Trafford Park in Manchester. As the advert notes they were part of the AEI Group that for many years although it included M-V and British Thomson Houston effectively allowed both concerns to compete for business.
This fine advert, in the 1956 special issue of The Engineer, effectively looks down on to the cooling towers of a electricity generating station along with a list of equipment manufactured by M-V. At the time the UK was, under the nationalised electricity industry, in the midst of a massive construction programme of power stations to both replace outdated generating stations and building new, larger stations to cope with the increasing demands of both industrial and domestic users.
The artwork is sadly uncredited - a shame as it is of that 'heroic' period.
Have you ever stood under a wind turbine? I honestly find it so nauseating! There is the illusion of one of them falling on you as they spin downwards and it is like reverse heights, that is the best way I can describe it! Taken in July 2020.

This scene is located just outside Palm Springs in California. I pulled up along the highway to capture the wind turbines which seemed to go on forever. There are soooo many :)
Southern Shorthaul Railroad's Streamliners B61, GM27, S317, GM10 and S302 trundle their consist of empty coal wagons past the now de-commissioned Port Augusta power station with #4578 coal wagon transfer from Port Augusta, SA to Lithgow in New South Wales.
A floating power generator anchored in the Port of Nouméa harbour.
As of 06 January 2023 Orhan Bey is supplying SLN-Eramet Doniambo ferronickel production unit Nouméa, New Caledonia with electricity.
The plant owned by Karadeniz Powership Co., Istanbul, Turkey can generate 203 MW and was built in August 2013 by Sedef Shipyard in Tuzla, Istanbul.
The floating electricity generating plant named Orhan Bey replaced a 50-year-old plant that supplied The Nickel Society (SNL) Nouméa facility.
The power ship is a special purpose power plant installed to serve as a power generating resource.
The ship is the first of its kind in the south Pacific and it arrived in New Caledonia 25 August 2022.
The power plant is operated by Turkish and New Caledonian technicians.
The plant floats in the water near the nickel factory in Doniambo, Noumea.
The plant emits 30 percent less C02 and emits less sulphur dioxide emissions and is quieter in operation than the old plant.
Karpowership is an enterprise of Turkish and German governments and the first business to make ships of this type.
The power ship was built to supply power to Lebanon in 2013. The contract expired September 2021 when Électricité du Liban owed Karpowership overdue payments in excess of $100 million. Powership stopped its Lebanon supplies 01 October 2021.

The Scottish Municipal Annual was issued 'under the patronage' of various Scottish local government associations and institutions and it was aimed to increase knowledge as to the 'special features, civic and industrial, of the ancient Burghs and Counties of Scotland'. It lists many councils, government agencies and other institutions and carries numerous advertisements for companies associated with municipal 'requirements' such as building materials, professional services, manufacturers and suppliers.
In this, the 1951 edition, an advert for the North of Scotland Hydro-Electric Board that had been set up in 1943, in advance of the nationalisation of the UK's power generation, distribution and supply industry in 1948 to take account of the specific requirements of the often remote areas of the Highlands and North of Scotland where the use of hydro-electric supply was feasible. The Board survived in national ownership until 1990.
Upstream from the Falls, a weir extends out into the Niagara River, presumably to help draw water into the intake for a power generating station
