Water for the steam condensers was abstracted from and returned to the Forth. When fully commissioned the station drew 1,025 cubic feet per second (29.02 m/s) of cooling water. There were concerns about the re-circulation of discharged warm water back into the intake. The topography of the river was

and 538 °C). An even more advanced 200 MW set was installed at
Kincardine in the 1962. This included boilers rated at 1,350,000 lb/h (170.1 kg/s) capacity delivering steam at 2,350 psi and 1,050 °F (162 bar and 566 °C) with reheat to 1,000 °F. The boilers were by

Semi-automatic start up, loading and shutdown of generating sets was introduced at
Kincardine in June 1966. This was associated with the change in the operation of the station from base load to two-shift working. This was the first time that such control has been used in the UK.

The rail facilities at
Kincardine included five coal discharge filler pits including two tipplers, 8 railway sidings, an oil discharge facility, and a loco shed. These facilities were extant in 1996 but had been removed by 2007.

The station was formally opened by the Queen in
October 1960. The station had cost £36,250,000, about £4M less than had been estimated in 1955. Upon opening it had three 120 MW units, 200 MW units were added in 1962 and 1963.

The station began construction in 1952 and started generating electricity in 1958. At the time of its opening it was the largest power station in
Scotland. It was initially operated by the
