	CEGB - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Under the nationalised structure the CEGB was responsible for electricity generation in England and Wales, whilst in Scotland electricity generation was carried out by the South of Scotland Electricity Board and the North of Scotland Hydro-Electric Board.
		The CEGB was created from the Central Electricity Authority (formerly the British Electricity Authority) in 1957.
		A proportion of the CEGB's nuclear fleet, its older Magnox reactors, remained in public ownership as Magnox Electric, and were later combined with BNFL.

	Electrictiy Privatisation (1988 plans)
		The CEGB itself will be split between the so-called Big-G (with 70 per cent of the existing generating capacity, including nuclear) and Little-G (with 30 per cent of fossil fuel capacity).
		The CEGB's most recent estimate suggests that an additional 13,000 MW of capacity will be required over the next decade or so to meet increased demand and to replace retired plant.
		To reduce the volume of emissions the CEGB is fitting flue gas desulphurisation (FGD) to a limited number of existing stations and to all future stations.

	CEGB (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The Central Electricity Generating Board (CEGB) was the cornerstone of the British electricity industry for almost 50 years, from its nationalisation in 1947 to privatisation in the 1990s.
		Some people feel that it represented the best of Government planning, others feel that it had become a monolith that exemplified the worst aspects of central planning, and was ripe for reform.
		The electricity market in the UK was built upon the breakup of the CEGB into three generating companies and the National Grid Company.

		The CEGB has told be that in its assessment of future electricity demand and the needs of the industry, it believes that Fawley B is needed.
		Against that background the CEGB feels that it should not proceed with the application until the area boards are in a position to give definite assurances and has therefore asked that the public inquiry arrangements should not be made for the time being.
		Should the CEGB tell me that it wishes to proceed, in order to ensure fairness to all concerned, I will require it to readvertise the application so that any person, who is not already registered as an objector, will have the opportunity so to register.

	The View From My Window
		If the CEGB headquarters building had been in existence at the time, it would have been supplied from the Holborn station, for Sudbury House is only a few hundred yards from the Viaduct.
		In the light of this, it would seem safe to assume that the interests of the consumer and taxpayer were not uppermost in the minds of Ministers when they reached their decision." That is a classical British understatement.
		The other fundamental problem, which is preoccupying the CEGB, is that we do not know how far we shall be able to rely on fossil fuels towards the end of the century and beyond.

	CEGB tippler wagon
		When the CEGB wagon fleet began to be reduced in the early 1970s number 23 was declared redundant and was presented to the Society for preservation.
		It arrived by road on 13 October 1973 and was soon restored for use on demonstration freight trains from 1974 onwards.
		A further example of these wagons was purchased from storage at the CEGB, TOPS number 23002, for use as a flat wagon after removal of the body.

		The CEGB had a statutory obligation to plan and produce electricity to meet demand.
		At privatisation, the fossil fuel generation within the CEGB was privatised as National Power and PowerGen.
		Prior to 1990 there were was some competition in CEGB plants from independent power producers using conventional and renewable energy sources, and this sector has continued to grow.

	1981 Planning Brief by CEGB
		The CEGB felt that it was not economically viable to use the railway because of the double-handling required, and also that road transport would be required at its final destination, adding to the cost.
		The CEGB admitted that the capacity at Radley was insufficient by itself to accommodate the total PFA for the remainder of the life of the Power Station (2000) but would prove adequate in conjunction with commercial disposal proposals.
		The CEGB concluded that after many years of filling and establishment of pasture and agricultural land, the last thing they would do would be to spread the original bunds, made to retain the ash during flood periods, restoring them to the original flood plain of 1981.

	CHRR Press Releases -CHRR Concerns on Kayelekera Uranium Mining (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		It is documented that CEGB spent US$9 million working on the project for over 8 years culminating to a full feasibility study in 1991 by Wright Engineers Limited of Canada.
		However, the study indicated that the project was uneconomical due to the mining model that CEGB was to adopt and the uranium prices were low at the time.
		The project was abandoned in 1992, owing to the poor outlook for uranium as well as the privatization of CEGB according to the master minders.

	Case Law: Carmichael & Another v National Power plc
		The duties included the supervision of parties of visitors on pre-selected tour routes, explaining and answering questions on various parts of the plant, and giving a short presentation about the CEGB and how electricity is made and transmitted.
		The House of Lords decided that the Industrial Tribunal had correctly concluded that the case “founders on the rock of absence of mutuality” because there was no contractual obligation when not working as guides.
		It is therefore important when faced with this sort of case that you review the relevant documentation to establish whether what you have is a framework document or a legally binding contract.

	House of Commons Hansard Debates for 13 Dec 1988
		One of the main points made by Conservative Members is that the public monopoly of the CEGB does not serve the nation efficiently.
		The suggested private companies that will take over from the CEGB will be more reluctant to invest in research and development for the nation's future generating capacity.
		For many years the medium-term development plan that was used by the CEGB was the one thing that set prices for the electricity supply industry that took into account all the costs of new build, and so on.

		In both cases, the CEGB was constrained by government policy, which strongly favored purchases from British companies, such as the then-government-owned National Coal Board (later known as British Coal) and equipment manufacturers such as GEC and NEI.
		The CEGB in particular fought strongly against the breakup of the generation sector and its separation from the grid, claiming these measures would adversely affect the reliability of service to consumers.
		The CEGB was to be split into three separate parts, two competing generating companies, National Power and PowerGen, and a monopoly transmission company, the National Grid Company (NGC).

		However, the CEGB provided evidence to the Hinkley Point inquiry on 6 December 1988 about the comparative costs of a PWR and coal-fired capacity, a copy of which has been placed in the Libraries of the House.
		According to the CEGB, the percentage of electricity generated by nuclear power in England and Wales in 1988-89 was 17.4.
		The CEGB informs me that during 1988-89 a total of 16.4 TWh was provided from outside sources, 6.6 per cent.

	CEGB faces court action - 14 October 1989 - New Scientist (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Last week, the Nuclear Installations Inspectorate announced that it will prosecute the Central Electricity Generating Board (CEGB) over the incidents which occurred over a three-week period at the Dungeness B nuclear station on the Kent Coast.
		If the cases are eventually heard in a county court the board faces an unlimited fine if the charges are upheld.
		The CEGB's Scottish counterpart, the South of Scotland Electricity Board, was fined Pounds sterling 1500 earlier this year after the NII learnt that an auxiliary diesel generator, for use in emergencies, was not in working order.

	Hampshire County Council (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The immediate reason for their decision was that the distribution companies (who take over from the Area Boards after privatisation) were not prepared to contract to buy the electricity from Fawley B. An underlying factor must also have been the scale of objection and weight of arguments against the proposal.
		Officers of the two authorities were therefore working together, under the guidance of Sir Frank Layfield QC and with the help of a number of consultants, to prepare a joint case against the proposal.
		RECOMMENDATION It is therefore recommended that: (i) The County Council welcomes the decision of CEGB to withdraw their application for consent and deemed planning permission for a large, coal-fired power station at Fawley and confirms the County Council's view that Fawley is a wholly inappropriate site for a large coal-fired power station and coal-port.

		This was followed by a non-technical management, seeing only the opportunity for short-term profit, with no understanding of the need to technically maintain the assets and the skill base or the long-term needs of the business, which in turn led to the massive shareholder losses.
		In 1980, under the dynamic leadership of Walter Marshall, the CEGB announced plans for a PWR station at Sizewell, and in July 1981, a White Paper on the future nuclear power programme envisaged orders amounting to 15 GW by 1992.
		In December 1988 the government announced that the CEGB would be split into two generating companies, the larger National Power containing the nuclear stations, separated from the National Grid Company.

		These earlier investigations were carried out during the 1980's by the British Central Electric Generating Board (CEGB), the group that discovered and evaluated the Kayelekera deposit up to a full feasibility study.
		The inconclusive exploration results obtained by CEGB are attributed to the limited extent of detailed work and lack of follow-up drilling.
		CEGB were distracted by their focus on the Kayelekera evaluation and, because of this priority and the dwindling uranium prices at the time, CEGB did not have the opportunity to properly evaluate the regional potential surrounding Kayelekera.

		In 1982 CEGB given planning conditional permission to fill disused Gravel Pits in Radley (using a method that is no longer permitted.) with Pulverised Fuel Ash (PFA).
		The CEGB stated they would need to use the ashfill facility for about eight years and argued that Didcot Coal Power Station would be taken out of service after that, and the ash-disposal facility would no longer be needed.
		The CEGB said 23 years ago they had acquired land adjacent to the Power Station and were looking to set up a commercial reselling operation to dispose of fuel ash to the Construction Industry.
