About Tilbury Green
Tilbury Green is a biomass power station at Tilbury Docks in Essex.
Its 43 MW of registered generating capacity is spread across one balancing mechanism unit. Every half hour each unit tells the grid how much it will generate (its physical notification): that is the live figure above, and GridMonkey has recorded it every half hour since it was added to the list in October 2026, for the chart.
Biomass stations burn wood pellets or other plant material instead of fossil fuel. The two biggest, Drax and Lynemouth, were coal-fired until they were converted.
