South-East England Electricity Scheme
From Graces Guide
1927 The second scheme proposed to the Central Electricity Board for linking up the national electricity network. Of the 152 public generating stations in the area, 17 were used exclusively for railways and tramways; of the other 135, 30 were selected for the Scheme, 6 of which would be used until about 1940. Three new stations would need to be built. 13 existing stations were selected for the scheme:[1]
- Bankside Power Station
- Barking Power Station
- Bow Power Station
- Brighton Power Station
- Brimsdown Power Station (new)
- Deptford East Power Station
- Deptford West Power Station
- Grove Road Power Station
- Peterborough Power Station
- Stepney Power Station
- West Ham Power Station
- Willesden Power Station (London Power)
In addition new stations would be built at Battersea and Chiswick. Further stations would be at Little Barford, one in the London area and another at a site yet to be decided.
Temporary arrangements would be made with the owners of other plant:
- Battersea
- Woolwich
- St Marylebone
- Blackwall Point
- St Pancras
- Poplar
- Walthamstow
- Wandsworth
- Shoreditch
