Opened in 1971, The station had a generating capacity of 1,989 megawatts and took water from the River Mersey.

The site was acquired by Peel NRE in July 2022. An application to build Fiddlers Ferry Power Station was proposed in 1962. The civil works were built by 1964 and 1971, and came into full operation in 1973. Eight cooling towers arranged in two groups of four located to the north and south of the main building. On the 3rd of December 2023 the first phase of the multi-phased demolition commenced with the four northernmost cooling towers. Despite a heavy fog on the morning covering the top half of all the towers and reducing visibility in the safety zones, the four cooling towers were dropped in a controlled explosion at 09:36hrs. Unfortunately due to fog at the time drone footage of the controlled demolition which was intended for this video wasn't possible.
