Upon [[Nationalization|nationalisation]] of the electricity industry in 1948 ownership passed to the [[British Electricity Authority]] and later to the [[Central Electricity Generating Board]]. Electricity connections to the [[National Grid (Great Britain)|national grid]] rendered the small 7.26 [[Watt|megawatt]] (MW) coal fired power station redundant. It closed in 1965 and was subsequently demolished; in its final year of operation it delivered 2771 [[Kilowatt hour|MWh]] of electricity to the city.<ref>''CEGB Statistical Yearbook 1965'', CEGB, London</ref>
