Abstract
THE general idea of the scheme of production of electric energy proposed takes as its basis the complete linking up of all parts of Great Britain by the Grid, and the subsidiary lines fed from it or from the stations directly. All stations are connected to the Grid, and as well as supplying their local consumers, put the additional power into the Grid as required. This is the well-known main function of the Grid. It is here submitted that this leads to a different scheme of generation from that now followed, and that sources of cheap power are rendered available that previously could not be utilised economically.
