The 420mw Shoreham gas turbine power station was opened in 2000. It was originally owned by South Coast Power Ltd, a consortium of Scottish Power and SEEBOARD (owned by Central and South West Corporation). It was later owned and operated by Drax Generation Enterprise Ltd, before being sold in February 2021 to Vitol (VPI Holdings Ltd). The station stands on the site of the former Brighton 'B' power station and uses the original seawater cooling inlets and outflows.
