British Electricity Authority or was it Central Electricity Authority??? Linuxlad 12:49, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC)

It was both. A document in the National Archives (Records of the Gas and Electricity Divisions, and the Electricity Commission) says that the BEA was set up in 1948 and later renamed the CEA; then in 1957 the CEGB replaced the CEA. I will mention this in the article. --Heron 13:41, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Thanks - somewhere or other I've got the mini-history written by Gil Blackman for the 1990 dismemberment - there's quite a lot of info there. Linuxlad 19:15, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Bias?

Is it just me or is this article a little biased in favor of the thing? Thanx 68.39.174.91 7 July 2005 10:42 (UTC) Yes, possibly - but it doesn't take a genius to edit it slightly - 'Its advocates said.... what'd there. However its critics maintained it was large monolithic and unaccountable. ' Linuxlad
