Velilla Power Plant was a coal-fired power plant near the village of Velilla del Río Carrión in the province of Palencia, community of Castile and León, Spain. Velilla Power Plant had two generating units with a capacity of 148 MW and 350 MW. The first unit was put into operation in 1964, and the second in 1984.

In 2008, Velilla Power Plant was equipped with filters, so now more than 95% of the detrimental sulfur dioxide are filtered out from smoke.[http://www.diariopalentino.es/noticia.cfm/Provincia/20081101/iberdrola/comienza/desulfurar/central/termica/velilla/539E72A2-1A64-968D-59A2571EFFFCC03D Diario Palentino: ‘Iberdrola’ comienza a desulfurar en la Central Térmica de Velilla.] Retrieved November 2, 2008.
