 Barking Reach Power Station was constructed between 1992 and 1995 on Chequers Lane, and was the first major generating station to be built in London for many years.The area is planned to be the site of an environmentally sustainable business cluster, part of the London Riverside section of the Thames Gateway zone.Expansion of the little-used Dagenham Dock railway station is expected to aid the development including services on the Docklands Light Railway and East London Transit.
