The Cleveland and Durham County Electric Power Company was established in 1901 under the provisions of the Cleveland and Durham County Electric Power Act 1901 (1 Edw. 7. c. civ).[1] Its powers, extended by the Cleveland and Durham County Electric Power Act 1903 (3 Edw. 7. c. xxv), were to generate or acquire electricity and provide electricity for lighting and power purposes for users. The area of supply covered 820 square miles.[2] By 1915 the company operated a generating station at Grangetown, Middlesbrough. This had a capacity of 6,000 kW.[1] Energy was also supplied by waste heat stations at Newport, Weardale, Teesbridge, Port Clarence, and Ayresome. It also had agreements to exchange electricity with the Newcastle-upon-Tyne Electric Supply Company (NESCo) and County of Durham Electric Power Supply Company.[1]
The profits of the company were: £24,360 (1907); £38, 960 (1908); £52,800 (1909).[3]
In 1922 the power station at Grangetown had boilers supplying 290,000 lb/hour of steam to drive four alternators as follows:
1 × 2 MW, 1 × 2.4 MW, 2 × 6.6 MW. Total generating capacity was 17.6 MW.[4]
The company was dissolved in 1933[5] under the provisions of the North-Eastern Electric Supply Act 1932 (22 & 23 Geo. 5, c. xxxii).[6]

Cleveland and Durham Electric Power Limited was registered on 18 July 1906.[1] It was formed to acquire shares of the Cleveland and Durham County Electric Power Company and those of the Northern Counties Electricity Supply Company Limited.[3] Its remit was to develop electric power in County Durham, Cleveland and parts of Northumberland.
In order to provide the finance, the company offered £1,000,000 share capital in July 1906.[3]
The company was in financial difficulties and decided to take an electricity supply from the NESCo's Carville power station via a cable under the Tyne at Hebburn.[7]
In 1915 the company had 486 consumers. The number of connections were 36,283 (1910); 40,460 (1911); 48,429 (1912); 55,133 (1913).[1]
