The installed capacity of each operational power station (owned or operated by major power producers) that began generating, since 1989, and until May 2012, can be found in table DUKES 5.11, available at:

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/electricity-chapter-5-digest-of-united-kingdom-energy-statistics-dukes

No distinction is made between the year in which commissioning began and the year in which normal generation began. Data to May 2013 will be published on 25 July 2013.

Note:

The installed capacity given is as at the end of May 2012; the installed capacity of some sites may have changed since commissioning, while others (e.g. large wind farms) may not yet be at final capacity.
