Many said it was impossible, several tried and failed, however through the commitment of our shareholders and with the support of many Public and Private sector stakeholders, we&#8217;ve succeeded in bringing Battersea Power Station back to life.&#8221;<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Work began on Battersea Power Station in 1929 and the first power was generated in 1933, initially from just one Turbine Hall with two chimneys. Battersea Power Station expanded with Turbine Hall B powering up in 1944 and the fourth chimney completing in 1955. At its peak, Battersea Power Station supplied a fifth of <span class=\"xn-location\">London&#8217;s<\/span> electricity, including to Buckingham Palace and the Houses of Parliament. The building was decommissioned in 1983 and later several failed attempts were made to redevelop the site.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on Battersea Power Station, please visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.batterseapowerstation.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">www.batterseapowerstation.co.uk<\/a> and follow @BatterseaPwrStn<\/p>\n<p><b>For media enquiries, please contact:<br \/><\/b>+44 (0)207&nbsp;062 1870<br \/><a href=\"mailto:pressoffice@bpsdc.co.uk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">pressoffice@bpsdc.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>World-renowned landmark Battersea Power Station opens to the public today following a transformational restoration Visitors can explore the Power Station&#8217;s historic Turbine Halls and check out the first retailers opening, including Nike, Uniqlo, Mulberry and Hugo Boss Free &#8216;Festival of Power&#8217; will run 14th \u201316th October and 22nd \u2013 23rd October LONDON, Oct. 14, 2022 [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":12634,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12633","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 -
