It is owned by Centrica Energy, being run as Centrica SHB Ltd. The generation manager is Paul Dalton. It is around two miles east of Immingham, and employs 64 people. Centrica owns the most CCGT power stations (eight) in the UK, and South Humber Bank is its largest CCGT station. It is the only power station in North East Lincolnshire. The site of SHBPS is around 500 metres by 400 metres in area (around 54 acres). It is next door to the Synthomer plant.

It was initially run by IVO Generation Services, a company owned by Finland's Fortum (Imatran Voima Oy). The site was owned by the consortium Humber Power Ltd, which was owned by Midland Power, ABB Energy Ventures, Tomen Group, Fortum Group, British Energy and TotalFinaElf.

On 29 May 2001, Centrica (as GB Gas Holdings Ltd) bought 60% of the power station, and with 40% owned by Chanter Petroleum (part of TOTAL Midstream Holdings UK Ltd) from Humber Power Ltd. The entire site was then run by Centrica, under the name South Humber Power Ltd.
