Lynemouth was the first power station to start the process from coal to biomass in the UK, and is one of the largest in Europe.
1968 Alcan had applied for planning permission for the construction of a new aluminium smelter in Northumberland at Lynemouth. Later that year, Alcan was granted the permission and site preparation would soon begin. To meet the electric demand of the new smelter, a power station would also be needed and therefore, Lynemouth Power Station was constructed 800 m (2,600 ft) from the aluminium smelter. Buildings designed by Yorke, Rosenberg and Mardall with engineering consultation from Engineering and Power Consultants. The power station was constructed by Tarmac Construction and the smelter by M. J. Gleeson Co. Both the power station and smelter were brought into operation in March 1972.
