Central England Electricity Scheme
From Graces Guide
1928 The third of the schemes proposed to the Central Electricity Board for linking up the national electricity network. Several important organisations had already invested in large facilities, including Birmingham Corporation, Shropshire, Worcestershire and Staffordshire Power Co, Leicestershire and Warwickshire Power Co and West Midlands Joint Electricity Authority. Of the existing 46 generating stations in the area covered, 19 were selected for continued use under the scheme with 6 further stations being offered temporary arrangements; the other 21 would be closed. A new station would be built at Ironbridge; other major plants were at Wilford, Stourport and Hams Hall which would provide the base load. [1]
