The thermal efficiency of the station in 1961 was 33.97 per cent. In 1972 the average load was 31.9 per cent of the maximum output capacity.
In 1973 the CEGB applied for planning consent to construct an additional generating station on the site of the existing B station. A public inquiry was held in July 1974. In the light of the oil crisis of 1973–74 and the consequent economic downturn the plans were not developed any further.
The B station was decommissioned in 1981 and was subsequently demolished. All that remains (in 2019) on the site are the concrete foundations of the buildings.
Ashford Peaking Plant.
AMP Clean Energy Limited (formerly Ashford Power, UK) commissioned a 21 MW peaking plant in May 2018. Design and construction of the station on the Kingsnorth industrial estate (TR 00511 40888) in Ashford was managed by Clarke Energy. The plant comprises 14 gas engine and alternator sets, each delivering 1.5 MW of electricity. The engines are GE Jensbacher gas engines fuelled by natural gas. The plant is started-up as requested by the national grid at times of peak demand. This is expected to be for 1,500 to 2,000 hours per year. The plant is unattended and is operated and monitored remotely.
Other developments.
In August 2018 Henwood Power Ltd applied for planning permission to build a new Short Term Operating Reserve (STOR) electricity power station on the Henwood industrial estate in Ashford. This would comprise nine natural gas-fired engines located within a former cold store building. The planning application was withdrawn by the applicant in September 2018.
