Medway Power Station is a 735 megawatts gas-fired combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) power station on the Isle of Grain in Kent adjacent to the River Medway, about 44 miles east of London. It started to supply electricity to the national grid in 1995.
Grain CCGT power station has three Alstom GT26 gas turbines. The scheme is designed on three Alstom KA26 Single-Shaft Combined Cycle Power Plant Power Blocks; these include a STF30C reheat steam turbine, a heat recovery steam generator and a TOPGAS hydrogen-cooled turbogenerator each. [24] The GT26 gas turbines are a lean-premix, low NOx, machines.

The tunnels were built in anticipation of the commissioning of Grain power station (with a planned capacity of 3,300 MW). The crossing would allow the transmission of power to the 400 kV transmission system to the south. A feasibility report of 1967 addressed both overhead line and tunnel options for the crossing.
