Fawley Power Station was an oil-fired power station located on the western side of Southampton Water, between the villages of Fawley and Calshot in Hampshire, England. Its 198-metre chimney was a prominent landmark, but it was not, as is sometimes claimed, the highest point in Hampshire .
The station, which in its final years was owned and operated by Npower, was oil-fired, powered by heavy fuel oil. Pipeline connected the station to the nearby Fawley oil refinery. There were two 10-inch diameter, 3.2 km long, pipelines which discharged into storage tanks with a capacity of 24,000 tonnes. Because oil is more expensive than other fuels such as coal and natural gas, Fawley did not operate continuously, but came on line at times of high demand.
