Batter sea Power Station.—In December, the Council received a communication
from the Electricity Commissioners intimating that application
had been made to them by the London Power Company, Limited, for
consent to the extension of the generating plant at this Power Station.
It was stated that the application was supported by the Central Electricity
Board, whose programme for plant development would require the
proposed extension at Batteresa to be available by 1940.
The London County Council, as one of the authorities interested in
the proposal, at the instigation of the City Council, suggested that a
conference of officers of the County Council and the other authorities
concerned should be held to consider the application and report to their
respective councils. The City Council agreed and authorised certain
officers to attend the proposed conference to be held early in 1937.
