Belvedere Power Station was an oil-burning power station on the Thames at Belvedere, south east London. When built the site was in Kent, later in Greater London.
The riverside site was opposite the Ford plant at Dagenham. The station was opened in 1962 by the Central Electricity Generating Board. A line from the nearby grid station skirted the Crossness Sewage Works to the 132kV Thames Crossing of the National Grid. It was decommissioned in the 1980s. The site has been redeveloped as the Isis Reach Industrial Park.
A new generating station, the Belvedere Incinerator has recently built close to the original site.
