The coal-fired Carrington Power Station was closed in 1991 and demolished soon after. Construction began in late 2009 on the same site to build a new gas-fired plant. The station is a Combined-Cycle Power Plant (CCPP), using natural gas to generate 884MW of electricity. Each power train includes an Alstom GT26 gas turbine, a horizontal triple-pressure Heat Recovery Steam Generator (HRSG), a TOPGAS hydrogen-cooled generator and an Alstom STF15C triple pressure reheat steam turbine with axial exhaust and all other auxiliaries to operate the plant. The total combined power output of the two power trains is 884 MW. It generates enough power to meet the electricity needs of one million homes in the UK and began commercial operation on 18 September 2016. It is majority owned by Irish company ESB Energy.

Petrochemicals have been produced on the Carrington site since 1949. The main output from this plant was polypropylene and polyethylene . Formerly operated by Shell the Carrington site is part of the LyondellBasell Industries Group of Companies which was formed at the end of 2007 by the combination of Basell Polyolefins and Lyondell Chemicals. The majority of the chemical plant here has subsequently been demolished with the LyondellBasell presence vastly reduced.
